> __even the creator of git doesn't like github__

That's like saying "even the creator of baked beans doesn't like Tesco". So what?

If the creator of a software critiques your SaaS that uses his software maybe you should pay more attention to it? I am sure Linus knows git a lot better than most of us.
But does he know website development better than most of us?
he doesn't complain about the website design he is complaining about the functionality. In fact he's stated in interviews he doesn't wish to ponder in web development.
I am not surprised someone who's career has been writing the lowest of low-level software. kernels and device drivers, isn't interested the total opposite end of the spectrum, web development.
Linus's problems with GitHub are mostly with how it handles pull requests, IIRC.
As well as commit messages, he said it's fine as a mirror
Indeed, but how is any of this relevant to the OP?
