Yup, I guess local commits when GitHub is offline (as it is frequently) is a decent improvement on a central subversion server if you are genuinely working offline or your scan server is as faliable as saas tends to be.

I used subversion for 10 years and don’t ever recall a problem when it was offline but the killed feature of GitHub - distributed source control - proved too complex For the majority of development teams. Instead there’s a “main” which people fork, add a feature, then merge and delete the fork.
