I've liked git for a while, but github really did it for me. As far as I'm concerned, they're one unit. Open source repos used to be such awful places: most of them seemed like little better than just hitting a directory listing for a web page. Github truly took most of the power of dvcs and made it accessible through the web. I want to fork things and try out a quick change because its just so easy. This is of course thanks to git as its underpinnings -- again, they are inseparable in my mind. Also, we used to use SVK to do the stuff git has built in, for that alone I would never switch back.
