Well, it doesn't matter :) you use github to share/publish your code , to get an issue/bug-tracker/wiki... to isolate your ip/computer from the rest of internet

you need pgp/gnupg keys to publish to github, they're what make the github version "golden" ie official

you can move away from github, its your public keys that make it official for everyone else

Just remember to configure your git to not leave a history of every computer you've ever used :) and don't commit passwords and other sensitive data

but you shouldn't worry about it , the actual chances of attracting interest enough for someone to fork your module and send you a pull request are low :)

Also, FWIW, the way github works (last I checked years ago), you always create stuff locally and push to github (git push origin master)
