There’s plenty of git forges that aren’t GitHub. Git itself has nothing to do with central servers and can theoretically be used in a completely decentralized manner.
At college some guys were self hosting a git server for a project but it went down. We resorted to a USB stick that acted as remote and was passed around. That was awesome to see, for about a day…
Heck yeah, git is a Swiss army knife for versioning all kinds of things beyond programming repos.
Outside of work, I’ve been using git in local “working” or “sandbox” directories on my personal machines for ages where I do everything. Just have an alias to quickly stage and commit with simple search tags in the commit message, and only move out copies of documents, spreadsheets, 3d printing projects, video and image edits, songs and tabs, etc. after I get them to their “final” point. It’s been a lifesaver for recovering disastrous program crashes that can corrupt files, on more than a few occasions.

Understood.

Yeah, I’d recommend so. Otherwise, it might look like you don’t know the difference between Git and GitHub, which a software developer should.
Thanks big bro.
