I had a quick look and bolted out within half a minute. Trying to open an organization or repo throws an error. There’s a featured comparison section on the homepage, and tapping on the first one leads to a message saying free tier allows two things to be compared and a pro subscription allows more. Why put this as the first in this section then?

Seems like this is not fully baked yet and it pushes for pro subs a little too soon.

It might be prudent to double-check git's trademark policy. https://git-scm.com/about/trademark

For the avoidance of doubt, this provision applies even to third-party marks that use the Marks as a syllable or as part of a portmanteau to refer to a product or service's use of Git code.

Wow, that feels quite restrictive. "Classic for Git" would be allowed, but it doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

That seems overly broad. Is there precedent for that?
