I still don't understand why people are using GitHub for their vibecoded projects. Just install git locally on your own NAS and control it there. What a weird fetish to publish online.

One of the biggest for me would be sharing the repo/working together without exposing my server/NAS to the public.

		If you need to share, you can simply rent a $3 host from Hetzner and handle it extremely privately.

I am using my own Git system with encrypted cloud sync and host over 30 web apps with this system. Many static websites, too. Never needed to use git in my life, except for a few cringy company projects that I was forced to be involved in.

You think people that vibe code have a NAS?
