Decided to switch to gitlab when I realized github refused to release their tools on Linux even though according to stackoverflow statistics Linux users make up over 20% of programmers, matching the number of OS X programmers. It's unfortunate that they make a living off open source software created by a lead Linux developer but they act like Linux doesn't even exist. Not a big deal though, the userbase on github is worse than facebook or 9gag. Gitlab isn't much better than github when it comes to openess, but it seems to be the best alternative so far.

    Git is widely available, even on github: https://github.com/git/git https://github.com/git/git apt-get install git pacman -Sy git emerge --ask dev-vcs/git yum install git
