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.

There are a lot of legitimate reasons to have a public github/gitlab/whatever account that is not self hosted.

To post on linkedin and to brag about all your projects and active github account when applying to jobs.

it's 2026. surely you're aware of ci/cd? static page hosting? package hosting? the many other services that github offers beyond hosted git?

You think people that vibe code have a NAS?
