This is a bad idea b/c of sync issues. Just use bitbucket, which is a poor man's github.

How do you classify Bitbucket as poor man's github? It has almost all the same features, supports git and mercurial and unlimited private repos.

    > you can use SVN with GitHub if you really want to. How is that remotely relevant? Mercurial is a great DVCS with a user experience that is (in my opinion) far superior to git. SVN on the other hand is...I don't think I need to rehash this tired old DVCS vs SVN argument. I would love hg support on github, but until that time will use bitbucket for my own projects, perhaps occasionally syncing to GitHub using hg-git.

      I'm not arguing one (D)VCS over another, I'm just mentioning that you have some limited flexibility just like you do with BitBucket. Your emphasis was on the "and", so I assumed you were counting the option of choosing your DVCS as a benefit, not the specific DVCS that were offered.

        I am not the parent. I wrote the original comment, and my point was that I use hg, and github does not support hg.

        Sorry, didn't notice I was replying to someone else. Your point wasn't obvious from what you wrote; there's a mention of which DVCS BitBucket supports but not which DVCS you use. > [BitBucket] has almost all the same features, supports git and mercurial and unlimited private repos. BTW, GitHub indirectly supports Mercurial. They wrote an hg-git plugin [1] that allows you to push to and pull from a git remote repo using hg. [1] http://hg-git.github.io/ http://hg-git.github.io/

  Because it's cheaper, but has a lower quality UI/UX.
