inb4 "GIT is distributed". While GIT is distributed, working collaboratively with others still requires a central platform where everybody working on that GIT repo can connect. GitHub is a very convenient central platform. To GITs credit; you can, with a little server know-how, set up your own git server and give all previous contributors access. However for a small downtime this could be overkill.

you don't need server know how, you can just use another of the available git hosting (e.g. bitbucket)

  You can even spin up gitlab from turnkeylinux in a few minutes or so wherever you want it.

  And even if you don't want to use a dedicate git hosting service, good site hosting platforms (Webfaction) make it incredibly easy to install a git server.

Very little server know-how, to be exact. All you need is an ssh account with each team members key added to `.ssh`
