Git won because GitHub.
- nine_k 2y agoI've been on a number of projects which used git without GitHub. But of course GitHub like "the default" repository of open-source projects has done a lot to make git the default VCS.
- hiatus 2y agoHave you forgotten sourceforge?
- rileymat2 2y agoSourceforge was terrible by the time Github was ascending.
- petepete 2y agoNo, unfortunately. It was terrible by comparison. There's no wonder GitHub drew people in. It's interface and ease of building a community around a repo made of so much more accessible than anything else around at the time.
- guappa 2y agogithub was a paid service only in the beginning. Which means few were using it.
