You can upload your .pbix onto github. However, it's not possible to directly open a Power BI report from github and publish it onto Power BI Service without using Power BI Desktop.

Just an update: It is now possible to directly publish a PBIX file to the service using the REST API, so you could conceivably do this for a PBIX file hosted on Github or any other online source.
