I know that I’m late to the party here, that all of the cool kids have had accounts for what seems like Internet-decades, and that I can do nothing but add my voice belatedly to an already rapturous chorus; nevertheless, forgive my enthusiasm: GitHub rules, it is worth joining, and, once signed up, it took only a week for my workflow to be forever improved. I am, in short, a believer.

  • It’s never been easier or more convenient to contribute to other open source projects.
  • It’s never been easier to work remotely.
  • It’s never been easier to track the progress of projects and developers you’re interested in.
  • Unicorns! Rainbows! Puppies!

Over the next few weeks I’ll gradually be migrating all of my projects over to it, and I encourage you to do the same.
