I don't get this. Git is still distributed, even if the "main" repo is on github, everybody still has a local copy. You are confusing project management (which github effectively does) and git. Git is still git, github is just a project management tool with git integration.

In the Linux kernel the project management is done via email (which is also just a centralized webserver in the end), so whats the problem?

The problem is lot of Dev tools has centralized on GitHub, so much so that we cannot use IPv6 only servers for development because GitHub does not support IPv6.

From what I use composer and brew relies on GitHub to work.
