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.
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…

Say what you want about Git, GitHub is awesome.
I haven't heard too many people say bad things about Git.

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.)
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?
And Git handles branching and merging better than Subversion.

Git is like linux in... 1996 maybe. The underlying technology is pretty awesome, but it leaves a lot to be desired in terms of usability. Git is enormously powerful, but it has some key weak spots that can lead to intense frustration, and it doesn't exactly guide users into using it in the best way possible.

If you're not frequently using local branches, your stash, `git add --patch`, git bisect or git rebase then you're really missing out.
Everyone's git workflow is different which makes it even harder to get up to speed since you read about 10 ways to accomplish the same task.
You might not use ALL the features of git but once you master a subset of them you'll find that your workflow is unlike anything you could have done with Subversion.
