Cooler coding with Git on github.com

In the past I've choosen Google Code to host my open source code, but with DuckWiki, I started using Git hosted on github.com. Git is not the only distributed version control system and there are some things, which are not so cool, like there is no real native Windows support (but I kicked Windows out of my life for a while). Google Code provides Mercurial as an distributed version control system and they told the rest of the world how they implemented Mercurial on their system.
But at least their are two reasons for github.com.
  • Private repos: If you pay, you'll get private repositories for non-open-source projects.
  • Social coding: github.com provides a cupple of cool features like following other coders, watching their projects, etc. It makes it all feeling like a real community of coders.
Even the Grails team is using it.
So get on, create a account and follow me or duckwiki project on github.com
