Jack Dorsey says "Yes" to a decentralized GitHub

Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter and the creator of decentralized apps like BitChat and White Noise, likes the idea of having a decentralized ￰1￱ X, a developer shared a screenshot of his suspended GitHub ￰2￱ said, “My GitHub account got suspended.” A second dev responded, saying there should be a distributed version to prevent ￰3￱ Dorsey replied to this with a “Yes.” yes. ￰0￱ — jack (@jack) October 15, 2025 Dorsey pushes for a blockchain based GitHub It’s obvious that Dorsey is pushing the idea of having a decentralized ￰4￱ is he going to build a new decentralized version, like what he did with BitChat and White Noise? The feedback on Jack Dorsey’s “Yes” was ￰5￱ said jokingly, “Let’s call it BitHub,” referring to ￰6￱ user questioned, “Git on blockchain?” A third wrote, “Isn’t Git already a distributed version control system without the Hub?” Git is a tool that lets many devs work on the same project without needing a single computer or “hub” to control everything.

That’s what a distributed version control system (DVCS) ￰7￱ already works ￰8￱ the issue isn’t the tech itself, it’s the ￰9￱ devs still prefer easy, centralized platforms like GitHub or GitLab because they’re simple and ￰10￱ infrastructure, like the tools and systems for using Git in a fully decentralized way, already exists, but almost nobody uses ￰11￱ asked Moe Amaidi, an IT consultant, about his input on the current state of coding ￰12￱ told us, “I’d say Git is already a robust distributed version control system, meets most technical needs, and can pretty much handle all codebase sizes, where Github thrives is in its tooling system, like issue tracking, CI/CD, and ease of use that many teams rely on.” He further explained that “It is in fact intriguing that Jack Dorsey would push for a decentralized or distributed version of GitHub, this might involve getting on par or improve on those conveniences to gain traction, given that the amount of maintenance these systems require without a ‘hub’ in it would be very challenging.” Based on recent stats , GitHub has over 150 million users.

However, the number of Git users isn’t clear. Radicle, a peer-to-peer (p2p) code collaboration platform or “forge” built on Git, reported having 2,000 repositories and a little over 200 nodes online weekly in September last year.
