I mean, the _old_ way of sharing source code was to upload it to an FTP mirror, and then once the Internet got "modern," a personal website. GitHub is not the only way to get a project on the Internet, it's just the most popular way at the moment.

The fact GitHub itself has become one of the easiest ways to setup a personal website says a lot about the availability of good, free, managed static hosting without ads.
