Re:Git cherry-pick and revert use 3-way merge by baq on Friday November 10, 2023 @04:37PM (#38224884)
Git was winning already and GitHub just made doubly sure it did.

Git was winning before GitHub because it was fast. Like, everything else was dog slow in comparison. Yes, hg was slower, sometimes much slower.

Alternatives were also hard to set up compared to git init and git push over ssh. (Ye olde svn, I’m looking at you.)
