Isn't it more Pijul vs Git than Git_hub_? There's a massive git community/ecosystem that has nothing to do with Github (e.g. Linux kernel development, at least last I looked).
I've dropped off Github for personal projects since it's trivial to run my own git repo and git version control is built into _everything_ by default, but there are definitely annoyances I've encountered while using git that sound like they would be non-issues in Pijul, so on that level it piques my interest. On the other hand, I would want to be able to do two things before I'd seriously consider switching:
1. Self-host Pijul repos with some web interface similar to e.g. Forgejo/Gitea/Gitlab/etc (i.e. not just source control, but also a bit of project management and CI). Looks like Pijul is developed on something called "The Nest" which looks basically close enough, but the source code for that isn't public yet.
2. Install a plugin in an IDE that would let me leverage it inside the UI (with in-IDE conflict resolution)
Testing Git vs Pijul is hard unless you have other people to work with. I've wanted to use Pijul and other VCS tooling for ages, but it's pointless unless I can try with other contributers. So the hub does matter
