I'm a little confused. Isn't git already decentralized? Like, most of the time there one true repo everyone else grabs from, but it doesn't have to be. What am I missing? Edit: oooooh, this takes the centralization away from GitHub. I feel like that's non obvious from the name, but I could be wrong.

With three simple steps you can create a decentralized mirror of your existing github project. All changes will be automatically propogated to the mirror version and the git services you depend on will be there when you need them.

  Isn’t this more about replication / mirroring then than about decentralization?

git is decentralized, but most git remotes are not. This is a decentralized git remote that gets the best of both worlds. It's a _decentralized_ "one true repo".

Git is decentralized like the web is decentralized. The architecture supports it but the infrastructure for using it in a truly decentralized way is severely lacking compared to the options for using it in a more centralized way.
