Do I need a server for Git?
Even though a central server may make things somewhat easier, you don’t need one. At work, I use some scripts around git-bundle to synchronize my git repositories between machines that are not connected to networks in a way that they can access each other.
Can GitHub be used as a server?
GitHub hosts GitHub Enterprise Cloud. You can deploy and host GitHub Enterprise Server in your own datacenter or a supported cloud provider. For more information about GitHub Enterprise Server, see “About GitHub Enterprise Server.”
