FYI this has already been a thing for a long while thanks to an open source third-party implementation, and also works on Windows 10. I use it all the time, it’s very similar to Linux’s and I’ve never had any issues so far. Not sure if Microsoft’s official solution will be any different/better.

We do have a federated GitHub alternative. Perhaps not too mature yet, but it does indeed exist. Forgejo
