     Github is too centralized anyways. What is the best decentralized
     git like
     system?

   It's not exactly what you're after, but given that the options for
   actual decentralized backends seem few and far between (there was also
   GitChain btw - [2]https://github.com/gitchain/gitchain ).
   It's fairly trivial to set up a central repo that you push to, and have
   a post-receive hook on it to forward any commits onto Github, Bitbucket
   and a variety of other git-as-a-service providers. Spread across enough
   providers, it makes take-downs harder (and you can easily just add a
   new provider - there are plenty of github wannabe's out there, after
   all).
   You'd need to be fairly careful about making sure that central repo
   isn't taken down, but again, it'd be trivial to replace if it were.
   You'd need to make sure discovery wasn't too hard, but that could be as
   simple as providing links to the various providers in the repo's README
   so that anyone with a copy of the README (or the internet archive) know
   where else to look.
