git already is decentralised. GitHub isn’t. But you can clone the git repository and mirror that as many places as you want.

git doesn't have discoverability or any kind of decentralized CDN service AFAIK.

None of that are requirements for a version control system, let alone a distributed one.
What people are after is a decentralised GitHub. Which I think is a good idea. But git itself is already built from the ground up to work decentralised.
So if someone were to build a decentralised discovery service for git, then you could take any existing git repository, whether it’s local copies on your laptop or “centralised” versions in GitHub, and use them equally as a seed.

Without the decentralized discovery service; though, you have nothing; one might as well say that hard disk drives are a decentralized storage solution, as everyone who has a copy of a file by definition has a copy of the file... but, obviously, this is meaningless if there is no way for me to find who has a copy of the file to request the download.
