versioning that is insanely fast when you compare it to SVN, and really easy to use as

Git also tends to be more user friendly due to the ever popular web siteGitHub
( https://github.com/ ), w hich markets itself as a social coding hub, playing off of
the Web 2.0 modus operandi of having everything be as “social” as possible (see
Figure 13-22). With GitHub you are able to store all your projects in the GitHub cloud
free of charge; you thenare able to have other developers fork, or copy, your repository

completely separated from your work. It is a bit gimmicky, but Git itself is such an
awesome technology that you learn to ignore the whole social thing if that isn't your cup
of tea.
