While the grand parent's tone is not appropriate and has been duely downvoted. They do point out that nbdev is currently closely linked around pushing code and docs to GitHub. This is something which threw me at first but isn't a requirement. You can set it up to work only locally.
The GitHub flavor is likely just because that is what the author was familiar with and what they were using.
If there are enough people interested we could get together to make PRs to add other remote version control systems and other static site hosts. I know an integration into the Atlassian world would really help me at work as that's my employer's chosen code repo and doc manager.
Don't use NSA/Microsoft's computer to store your data. I'm not sure how much more clear cut this can be. NSA/Microsoft is a persistent, global adversary and should be treated as one not as some kind of standard. Treating NSA/Microsoft as a 'best practice' means sleepwalking towards losing the right to read[1], the right to investigate and understand the environment around us and all human rights worth considering.
