It doesn’t look so optional to me if I read the tearful reactions on social media correctly. Apparently, an overwhelming majority of Git users ‘can’t work’ when GitHub is down.
It’s relatively easy to self host your own git repositories.
It’s just that Github adds a lot of extra value added features that help streamline things for larger projects, and this is why many people use it. For most people, the value they get far outweighs the inconvenience when it goes down for 10 minutes here or there.

Eh you still can, the git remote is a mirror but you can still make commits locally and sync later
you can also have multiple git remotes/mirrors
Then what’s with all these devastated comments on social media?
people like to make a fuss and get attention on social media, it’s something to talk about, entertainment
they’re weren’t even down for that long
