Re:GitHub major issues - repos have "lost" commits and site ... by jamesbritt on Saturday January 29, 2011 @11:43PM (#2157391)
"GitHub is just another place to have a hosted version of your repo, with a nice UI and social features."

The main point of Github is the social aspect; git just makes that easier.

They were other public git hosts before, but they didn't get the traction of GitHub because they didn't offer the same magic as The Place to share code.

It's git hub for a reason.
