Say what you want about Git, GitHub is awesome.

Say what you want about GitHub, Git is awesome. (Not sure why we're comparing them but I'll throw in my opposing opinion. I actually like both but Git itself is much more important to me than GitHub.)

I LOVE github, their little project forever changed the way I think about & write software, and their ideas (blogposts/presentations) about how to build software are truly a massive inspiration for me.

PS: Would be awesome to see who has the oldest github account on here. I joined April 20 2008.

Git and GitHub have both made monstrous contributions to the software development landscape. I've acquired incredible new powers, for free!

What other power-tools are on the horizon? What's next?

Congrats on 5 years to Github! They are true pioneers for creating a social network for programmers, and not limiting it to just experienced programmers. I barely knew how to program but I was suggested to try Github with the little HTML/CSS/JS I knew and it is been my favorite, not to mention most effective, way to practice to become a better programmer. Collaborating with fellow hackers on projects is more fun than I ever imagined. They have actually found a way to make programming a social and fun experience! The beauty of Github is that it attends to programmers of all experience levels, so I really don't see myself straying away from it even as I become a better programmer. Here's to hopefully more than another 5 years!

As an afterword, I guess the big question is: What comes after this? What will make Github irrelevant?

Honest question: If it's not for GitHub's community features that get enabled through git's decentralized repository, what does git do for you more than a local SVN server?
