Yes, I think many people use GitHub just for code storage, and that's fine.
I casually browse GitHub sometimes in the same way I do HN. I follow friends and colleagues and through the feed see what they're building and starring. I use global search to find tools and libraries that do what I want.
Sometimes, I come across a repo I like that's on say GitLab, but not GitHub. I quickly forget about such projects because they live in my bookmarks instead of my stars list.
>I find the social tools on GitHub like PR reviews, issue management, and notifications
I don't consider these social features, at least not in the way I'm talking about.
