Why Github Actually Won Tldr if you want a very short read, here is the quick version of why i believe github won and why you’re probably using the site to this day. i can boil it down to exactly two reasons that happened to resonate with each other at the perfect frequency. Why github actually won (via) github co founder scott chacon shares some thoughts on how github won the open source code hosting market. shortened to two words: timing, and taste.
Co Founder Explains Why Github Worked Gigazine A great run down by scott cahon himself on why git and then github won the version control system war. in the end we won because the open source community started to converge on distributed version control and we were the only ones in the hosting space that truly cared about how developers worked at all. So, to sum up, we won because we started at the right time and we had taste. we were there when a new paradigm was being born and we approached the problem of helping people embrace that new paradigm with a developer experience centric approach that nobody else had the capacity for or interest in. Github ultimately won because the open source community was starting to converge on distributed version control, and we were the only ones in the hosting space that really cared about how. I believe github's underlying use of the git scm, as well as the interface that allowed web users to look at "pull requests" as a concept was the real value in github, far before hosting binaries or attracting the attention of microsoft.

Projects on github can be accessed and managed using the standard git command line interface; all standard git commands work with it. github also allows users to browse public repositories on the site. One of the founders of github responded to my "why github won" video, so of course we need to read it and see what i missed more. Github's dominance resulted from its perfect timing as distributed version control tools emerged and its developer focused approach that refocused code hosting around user centric and permission simplistic models, unlike ad driven competitors. From humble beginnings to tech giant status: the inspiring story of how github won over their first customers.
