Sorry but what’s the problem? Just use a TOTP authenticator, they work completely offline and are even more secure than SMS 2FA. For Android I would recommend Aegis.
Is it requiring a cell for being the 2fa piece? I don’t use GitHub but I’d be surprised if they did. There’s been plenty of options for a while now. Email, authenticators, u2f keys. You should be able to enable 2fa that will use the same data you’re using to access GitHub.
Was going to suggest this. Github even has native support for them so you just plug it in and touch the gold pad for your second form. Even easier than a TOTP code.
Could Authy be of use for you perhaps? It seems like they have a desktop app, although I have no personal experience with it. Alternatively, GitHub supports the use of Security Keys which are physical devices that you can purchase for 2FA purposes, Yubico works great in my experience but there are other manufacturers, or even DIY solutions.
I’ve had 3 jobs in a row require Duo and all 3 were companies that invested heavily into being remote/hybrid and are based in farm communities. I don’t think 2FA is going to be a problem for you unless you make it a problem for you

you can use totp on your computer, bitwarden does it just fine from the desktop
For a completely offline solution KeepassXC also can do TOTP.

Yubikey is another offline option. It also has a TOTP app that runs on Windows/Mac/Linux for anything that doesn’t support security keys.

There are many options for a PC application as well

you can get a google voice number and use it on your computer.
You can get a fido physical key, then you don’t need email or sms at all.

Perfect candidate for a Ubikey, you get mail right? Buy two. One for the safe.

use an authenticator app?

What about something like a YubiKey?

If you use Linux by any chance, there’s a totp Authenticator app on Flathub.
There also might be an Authenticator app available for Windows too but I haven’t looked into any for it
