Gits adoption was driven by github, which won by making public repos free & private repos cost.

If bitbucket had that business model instead of the inverse we’d all think of git as that weird bad hg that Linus forces the Linux devs to use.

Git is a classic example of other factors than the software driving use.

Great then you should be able to do even better, right?

Seriously give it a try

First we need to power up to Linus skill level, then we can apply the same community influence spells.

Git would be dead on the water if it wasn't for being written by Linus and a requirement to interact with Linux development.
