You're not thinking about BitBucket are you? I thought Github was always git only?
- pseudalopex 3y agoGitHub started with Git and added Subversion. Never Mercurial.
- antod 3y agoOh that's right - I'd forgotten about that april fools joke that wasn't. It was just client compatibility right - the backend was still git from memory? What I mean was that it wasn't like Bitbucket where you chose whether you wanted git or hg for starting your project.
- innocenat 3y agoBitBucket was Mercurial-only for quite some times before they added Git (when it was obvious that Git was winning). I think Google Code provide both from the early day (along with Subversion), and maybe also SourceForge.
- pseudalopex 3y agoSourceForge added Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar in 2009. Google Code added Mercurial in 2009. Bitbucket and Google Code added Git in 2011.
- jamesdwilson 3y agoI've used them all and Bazaar is my fav by far.
