Once I was introduced to git I used it for everything in the way I use Emacs for everything (though I have yet to embrace the Magit porcelain). While I don't know if the benefit would outweigh the effort, I wouldn't mind seeing a decentralized online solution for git like Mastodon. I don't mind Github but much prefer Bitbucket to back up, organize and otherwise manage my own repositories. A federated network would be ideal to share and connect with projects while using one's chosen flavour.

I would agree, a federated network would be nice. That is a nightmare I'm not sure many people would be willing to take. Could be interesting to see, though. :)

Personally, I run a private Bitbucket server as I prefer the interface and features (re: cheaper), but I will keep Github up to date as Github is the Facebook of Developers.
