I know plenty of people that simply use SSH or local-only repositories. These people are the minority. Do you know at least 3 million people who use git without github? If not, you're nowhere near to saying that a majority of git users do not use github. And yes, having somewhere to host it is very important. Both Fossil and hg have an httpd built-in. I believe cgit or gitweb are not a simple "git serve" away?

We don't know how many people are using SSH git but you surely know they are much less than 3 million. Have you heard about Dunning-Kruger effect?

  Yes, I assume you are indicating that I think my skill is greater than it actually is? Which skill are you referring to? Or whose skill are you referring to?

    You are too sure of your conclusion without a justification. Neither I nor you know 3 million people and their habits. Yet you are certain there is no such a group of 3 million people that will contradict your conclusion. It's not about your skills. It's about your confidence based on nothing.

> Do you know at least 3 million people who use git without github? Why must one have never used github while also not using github? I have many private repos I share amongst my machines, but I also publish projects on github when I want them to be public. > Both Fossil and hg have an httpd built-in. That seems horrible. Why do I want these features built in when they can be delegated to other applications (which I can choose among based on their features and not forced to use the one supplied?)

  You can use another httpd if you want to. It's just nice to have one built in if you don't.

    Why add the complexity to the scm? That's not its job.
