GitHub _is_ a huge success, and git is merely comes along in a bandwagon (English isn't my native, hope I've made this clear)

Interesting, could you give an example?
- phee 10y agoIIRC git was already a huge success, i.e. most big freesoftware projects (Linux, GNOME, xorg, gstreamer and many more) ditched other VCS for it, when github was still in its early stages.
- pjmlp 10y agoI remember quite a few (Go, SDL, Java,Google Code repositories...) using Mercurial until switching to git due to peer pressure was unavoidable.
