GitHub has Launched!

Apr 10, 2008 1 comment

Hot on the heels of the FamSpam launch only a few short months ago, Chris Wanstrath, Tom Preston-Werner, and I launched GitHub.

I know I speak for the rest of the team that we’re all really excited to see it open to the public after a rewarding beta period that garnered some awesome feedback.

For those wondering what I’m even talking about, GitHub is a hosted code repository made specifically for the Git version control system.

Hosted code isn’t anything new, but we think we’ve created an environment that fosters open source collaboration like never before. You’re also welcome to keep your code private if you’d like.

‘Course you don’t have to take my word for it, have a look at what other people are saying about GitHub

Congrats. :) Been watching it for quite some time as we’ve been building out Gaia’s git + bugtracker integration. Over the course of the beta, I’ve enjoyed watching many of the git hooks coming together along side features that just aren’t really possible in systems like Trac.

I’ve already said plenty on the ease of github, especially from someone who ground through getting gitweb up and running. :)

Congrats!
