All my current customers are using Bitbucket, but it's the same.
They may look like centralized repositories but they are not. We have our own local repositories, sometimes even more than one for the same project, and we use the GitHub or Bitbucket one only to sync some branches between developers.
It's not what used to be with centralized systems. The only copy of the repository was on the server. Locally developers only had files sometimes with a global lock such that nobody could work on the same file at the same time.
That's the real advantage of having a system like git in combination with a server like GitHub.
The PRs are nice but not everybody use them. Sometimes it's only merge and push.

- pmontra 3y agoYes. I self host my own remote git repositories for personal projects, so I can move commits between my machines without going through a third party. My customers and nearly everybody else prefer a hosted solution like GitHub.
