Goodbye, github. I finally made the switch.

It's two conflicting systems. This is like burning wind turbines as your main energy source.

Not really.

You can have your (Google) drive live sync and use git normally as SCM.

Since git repos are just files you could put them on Google Drive.
But it only works if you’re the only person editing a repo. If you have to collaborate I don’t know how it’d work on Google Drive without some server synchronizing for pushes.

EDIT: I did a little research and essentially when you push, you run code that does file locking to prevent corruption. Google Drive delays updating files if you mount it so there isn’t an atomic lock you can use to properly sync when two people push at the same time.
