Is there anything GitHub doesn't do?
Many projects developed for a LAMP stack use the mainstay of subversion for version control. It's been a while since I've heard of anyone still using CVS and most LAMP projects haven't yet moved to git. As I'm a dual PHP/Ruby on Rails developer I've jumped the fence and now use git for hosting all projects (except for the ones at my current contract where subversion is still the department standard). There are many reasons why git is better than other version control systems, but in this article I'm just going to talk about one particular git host - GitHub.com and what makes it so great.
