That would be great. But Github is a massive coordination point with network effects and free tiers so it's not so easy to compete. Some other challenges:
- despite being decentralized, you still need moderation and access control
- open source projects typically aren't great at frontend UI/UX
It would be neat if I could publish git repos on IPFS and receive patches from people. It's just hard to compete with a centralized, CDN'd service where you can click and get a result in 100ms.
edit: cribbing from sibling comment, it looks like Radicle has thought hard about decentralized git: https://radicle.xyz/blog/radicle-link.html https://radicle.xyz/blog/radicle-link.html
