A few people are but there is a better way:
Use gitea which almost has feature parity : https://about.gitea.com/
Or gogs if you want something more lightweight.
Then use nostr for updates.
You can host it at git.blowater.app its quite easy.
A good thing to work on is login to gitea with nostr, a couple of people are working on this too, single sign on
An alternative is radicle, but many are put off by their token sale, from the past
Git over nostr is neat, and there are some heroic efforts, but it'll never be feature parity, and also relays are not guaranteed to store data, only to relay notes, and other stuff.

for now*
honestly, a 500kb note size limit for encoding diffs isn't that big a deal, with the necessary git branch metadata on top
it's just gonna take time to build it
i also think that probably the enterprise could be benefited by actually making a massively cut down variant of git that leverages the benefits of decentralised event storage as trees of change events
I just thought I'd make it a pretty quote, so that we can make sure he gets famous, later. 😂

This is high praise, saying it will skip feature parity and jump straight from "catching up" to "way ahead" in one major update
GitHub is legacy software. It had a nice run.
I'm of the mind that nostr and git can complement each other. GitHub is not git. we can build multiple git host services that have a variety of functionalities and focused on different use cases and user profiles.
that way, parity is not even a desirable outcome. I'd argue for superiority.
Absolutely. Use relays for realtime updates, not for storage.
Yeah use gitea or gogs.
Both are fantastic self hosted.
