Every OS I've ever used has a simple file copy command line that will work for any ereader that uses mass storage. Mac OS might need something extra for MTP, but Windows and Linux can copy to MTP devices in a console (command line).
I've not looked at the Git offering because Windows & Linux already have command line for any ereader (reMarkable uses network over USB, so is different) and GUI file manager support.

It's a lot easier to use Windows Explorer to copy a directory full of eBooks to your Reader. A lot of people don't have all that much experience with a command line.
calibre is not that difficult to use if you do the basic of adding books and sending them to your Reader. And cleaning up the metadata is also easy. Yes calibre can be more complex. But that's because it does so much.
This copy/paste command line tool (should be GUI based) is for those who do not use calibre but still collect eBooks. But if you don't use calibre, most eBooks will have DRM (as long as they are legal).
