And yes, not hosting own server is one of reasons.

I do not know what kind of git workflow you are planning to use, but, IMHO, you'll need a local server.
For example, when you need to check code developed on Windows on other platforms.
Other platforms won't be able to access your local repo to fetch changes. Well, unless you want to commit unchecked changes to github.
Well, you can access remote repo via SSH, but you are on Windows, AFAIK, and in the past lfs didn't work over SSH (not sure about now).
In case of a local server you will be able to fix problems on other platforms, and run "rebase interactive" to squash a commit with a fix. This way you will have a clean history.
IMHO, GIT is not just SVN without a server, it is a completely different tool with features like submodules, subtrees, worktrees, rebases, and the ability to easily destroy whole repo Smile

Just my two cents.

BTW, github is slow.
