Implementation of Git began in April 2005. 1.0 was released in December. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git#History)

Github had 2000 users in March 1, 2008. [...] Development of the GitHub platform began on October 19, 2007 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub#Company_history)

So "for years" means "less than three years".

Github doesn't make Git accessible. You clone a local Git repo and it behooves you to know how to use it.
