> I still don't understand why it's such a successful business From what perspective? The logic seems relatively straightforwards to me. - The GitHub interface is usually easier to use than the git interface. This is mostly true for technical users (programmers) and very true for non-technical users (many project managers). - Setting up a repo on GitHub is easier/faster than setting up your own server+git+backups+etc. - GitHub adds useful features on top of what git can already do -GitHub has excellent mind share by virtue of being the defacto home of open source software. It’s the first thing I think of for free and premium source hosting. - The pricing of GitHub professional packages is small, a rounding error on the salary of your programmers and PMs.
