WHen I google "git hosting", the first hit is git.kernel.org, then two stack overflow posts, then Gitorious, then GitHub. I wonder what my account contains that makes Google think Gitorious is more important to me.
- marcusramberg 15y agoI'm sure the fact that you work for Gitorious' parent company has nothing to do with it ;-)
- augustl 15y agoI wonder if Google actually knows that, or if it's something else that causes it.
- ma2rten 15y agoFor me Github is the third hit and Gitorious is not even on the first page.

- slowpoke 15y agoI'd just like to add that a search for "git hosting" on DDG ("duckgoing" if you will) yields, aside from the SO quick info box (which mentions Gitorious and Redmine), unfuddle.com is the first result, github doesn't show up until the fourth of fifth, and I haven't scrolled down to look for Gitorious. It does, however, show http://git-scm.com/tools http://git-scm.com/tools as the second result, which includes a summary of the most popular hosters divided by categories.
- BCM43 15y agoI get github as the second.
- ma2rten 15y agoyou can also add &pws=0 to the url
- eric-hu 15y agoI'm unfamiliar with Google's indexing algorithm, but it's also possible that the rank of the top pages has shuffled between when Linus googled it and now.
