- wheels 15y agoI can't tell if you're being intentionally dense or just naive. Linus copied the kernel tree to GitHub when the kernel git repo was compromised. It is not the main repo. Of the others, only Rails and JQuery could even be reasonably be called "top" projects (Bootstrap? Seriously, you list a 7 month old project with 2000 commits?) and even those are a stretch. Major projects are well into the hundreds of thousands of commits. It's ludicrous to even muse of Bootstrap being in the same league as e.g. Mozilla, WebKit, et al.
- funthree 15y agoWhy am I either naive or dense? I was just pointing out some obviously large and important OSS projects on github.
- stickfigure 15y ago"Top" projects are better defined by the number of users than the number of commits. By this standard, Bootstrap is a very successful project. If you define success by the number of people who have actually checked out and built the code, Bootstrap is vastly more successful than Mozilla & WebKit.
