True, and I also find it BETTER. It actually came when Atlassian bought out BitBucket[1]. I personally believe GitHub success is founded on git "winning" the DVCS wars, but I won't downplay the fact that they contributed to this.

- notfoss 12y agoTrue, and I also find it BETTER. It actually came when Atlassian bought out BitBucket[1]. Wow, I never knew that. I thought Atlassian created BitBucket. Thanks for the link.
- twic 12y agoI think GitHub's role in the DVCS war is huge. Git got an early lead thanks to Linus Torvalds, but it was GitHub that let it ultimately steamroller Mercurial and the also-rans. GitHub was the war-winner because of Metcalfe's law - as soon as it had a 40% advantage in numbers, it had a two-fold advantage in value, and from there there was no going back from there.
