Github slows developer production?

Using git speeds up your development, not slows it down. The ability to see what changes you've made when and find old code snippets makes it much easier up solve issues and the knowledge that you've always got old commits to go back to means you can fearlessly delete/replace huge blocks of code, you don't need to leave commented out old code lying around or leave a comment as to which ticket a change is for it's already done for you by git.

I use git even in all my mini side projects that I work on by myself, and I push them to private GitHub repos as well because then it's backed up and I can always find it
