Do I need internet access to use Git?

No. Because Git is distributed, your local machine has the full database. You can commit, branch, and merge entirely offline. You only need the internet when you want to 'push' or 'pull' changes to a remote server like GitHub.

Is GitHub the only place to host Git repositories?

Absolutely not. GitHub is just the most popular commercial host. You can use GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, or even host your own private Git server.
