I've got a software project that I'd like host somewhere. The versioning system is git, and I'd like to know if there's some kind of advantage in using sourceforge instead of github or vice versa.
It's what all the cool kids use nowadays too.
Fuck. Guess I'll have to use darcs or mercurial or something now

True, true. They've got a lot of similarity: git is more powerful and flexible but mercurial is simpler... and maybe more portable as well.

The real point is: distributed = win. You can easily get satisfied with a distributed version control system.

It's fairly safe to say that Mercurial will become a predominate player in version control. It might not completely replace SVN, but it will be pretty big.
Git on the other hand will remain mostly useless and inaccessible until the OSS community quits their circle-jerk and makes a reliable Windows release.

Hmm... I was sure I had seen a project on there hosted with Git.

Nothing of value is developed on Windows platforms.

Github is also a social network. I enjoy github for collaborative coding and casual meetings for anal sex.

Obvious troll is obvious.
Although nobody develops good things for Windows anymore... obsolescence and closed source code are not motivating things!
>>26 Git also runs on Windows. There are two variants: [list][*]A native Microsoft Windows port, called msysgit (using MSYS from MinGW), is approaching completion. There are downloadable installers ready for testing (under the names "Git" and "msysgit", where "Git" is aimed for users). While somewhat slower than the Linux version, it is acceptably fast and is reported to be usable in production, with only minor awkwardness. In particular, some commands are not yet available from the GUIs, and must be invoked from the command line. [*] Git also runs on top of Cygwin (a POSIX emulation layer), although it is noticeably slower, especially for commands written as shell scripts. This is primarily due to the high cost of the fork emulation performed by Cygwin. However, the recent rewriting of many Git commands implemented as shell scripts in C has resulted in significant speed improvements on Windows. Regardless, many people find a Cygwin installation too large and invasive for typical Windows use.[/list]

Tortoise: what a kind of shit! I used it some years ago, and it sucked. I don't use windows anymore, but I'm quite sure that both windows and tortois sucks even today.
