So a typical Linux application of moderate complexity, then.

*No!* Absolutely not.

Git is Git and nothing but Git. It is 100% GPL FOSS and runs on multiple OSes.

*GitHub* is a private commercial website, now owned and operated by
Microsoft, which offers various services to Git users. But Git is not
part of Github and Github is not part of Git. Git works fine without
Github. If you want a web repository, there are Gitlab and others. But
Git does not need a web repository and a Git project is perfectly and
completely functional if run peer-to-peer from one user's Git
installation to a bunch of other users' Git installations. No website
is needed, implied to be needed, or even especially helpful.

It is *really important* to keep stuff like this correct. Blurring
these messages is how proprietary software companies attack open
source.

"Buses are run by different companies... but all buses run on public
roads. Public roads are owned by the government. Therefore all buses
are owned by the government."  <- this is *obviously* wrong and false,
but it is equivalent to what you just said.
