I'm not really sure that looking only at github is fair. You'll find many more .Net projects on codeplex, and more of everything (though not necessarily in the same distribution) at bitbucket and sourceforge.
- hasenj 16y agoBut in terms of "what should I learn", I'd say github is a better place to look.
- kogir 16y agoWhy? I view all active, open-source projects as equal when it comes to language popularity. Github is great, but it's hardly the only place to host a repo.
- hammerdr 16y agoGitHub has the largest number of repositories (yes, more than SourceForge) and arguably represents the more 'up and coming' open source projects. You're particular complaint about .NET projects is more than compensated for by the Stack Overflow cross-listing.
- tzs 16y agoCounting repositories inflates results for Github. Consider a project that consists of a server, a client, and a library. In Subversion, that would quite likely be one repository, containing server, client, and lib subdirectories. People just interested in the client can checkout the client directory from Subversion as if it were its own repository. (That's the one thing I really miss from Subversion since I switched my department at work to Git). In Git, there's a good chance it would be three repositories. One for the server, one for the client, and one for the library.
