i am wondering this probably because of two factors:
1. accountability: where do I go looking if something is broken?
2. and discoverability: where to search, and whom to believe as being the correct owner of the copy of the codebase.
this is similar to block-chain currency (based on my limited understanding.. correct me if i am wrong). While it is meant to be decentralised, entities like coinbase effectively create a central entry/exit point somewhere in the ecosystem.
- dzmien 7y agoI immediately thought of Bitcoin when reading the OP. It can, and has been "hard" forked via miner consensus. That is, of course, one level removed from git, but I guess git"hub" could be more like gittorrent or something where instead of hosting a repo on one central server, the repo is hosted by a swarm and the version with the most seeds is the winner.
