Well, before GitHub there were things like Google Code or SourceForge, which I think worked pretty much the same (albeit probably not as noob-friendly). Before those it was probably self-hosted servers for the bigger organizations or something like that, although I'm only speculating.

Isn't Google Code sort of in the same "generation* as Github versus much older Sourceforge? I dont think Google Code was around during the first year of Google going public back in 2004/2005. Anyway not actually sure just how I've always thought of social version control sites.
