I concur. I also wouldn't consider the idea of online social repo systems to be synonymous with git.

Git is a source control tool, "Git news" would suggest to me either news about the development of git or a news platform somehow operated through git.

This next opinion might be more controversial, but I think it needs to be said: the conflation of git with github is exactly what Microsoft wants because it leads young developers towards github and a sleak online experience. This hurts the open source ecosystem by creating a single stop shop with little competition. And it might not be easy to switch to other alternatives because of lockin due to external features like issues and wiki, inertia, etc.

Calling this site "Git News" is a small part of this development, and that is imo unfortunate.
