What's special about Github?
• Uses git as revision control
• Social coding
• User-centric
What's special about Github?
• “Follow” other people's projects/changes
• Low barrier to contribute (low PITA)
• Explosive growth of participation after
projects move to Github (e.g. Rails)
• Extremely well implemented

Why Git?
