No, no, no. Didn't you read the rest of this thread! This was all part of a well coordinated, thought out, grand conspiracy to place github.com as the de-facto git repository. Not some late night, quick turnaround, "hey, this would be cool" project created by two people for lulz. After all, it would be impossible to create an effective URL shortener with one developer and a late night with a case of beer (no...don't look at me, it took me a day and a half).
Get with the narrative!

- nmjohn 5y agoI would say your comment (which is currently the top comment on this post) thread is not far off from what cwbrandsma is somewhat hyperbolically saying. > It always struck me as borderline scummy, since GitHub was of course aware of this, but then again they've knowingly benefited from misconceptions about the Git/GitHub relationship for a long time To me that very much implies the thought out plan to place github as the defacto git repo that cwbrandsma was describing.
- cxr 5y ago> not far off from what cwbrandsma is somewhat hyperbolically saying Calling that comment "somewhat hyperbolic" is an understatement.
- cmeacham98 5y agoIt's not that there was some evil master plan from the beginning, it's that GitHub benefits from git/GitHub confusion (such as hosting git.io), knows this (at least nowadays), and passively encourages this by doing nothing about it.
