Don't conflate Git with GitHub. Git is decentralized and always will be, and you're free to use Git however and wherever you'd like. GitHub is a collaborative code repository with social features, and the ability to edit code in place is an interesting evolution. The fact that GitHub happens to use Git is incidental. The entire product would be a useful and viable venture even if it were backed by CVS or Mercurial or Perforce. Git just happened to be the best choice when they started.
