...I'm not seeing how this relates to GitHub. Did GitHub hire the authors of those articles..?

Dude, that's just the article, not the source. Eg: Github as CMS.

Yeah I don't really know how github works. When I click the OP link I see a tiny bit of text and then three screenshots. Is there a whole article on this topic I'm missing?

And I thought this was about github...

Seems more of a blogvertisement for GitHub

Maybe it was the article's reprinting of that rant, in its entirety, with a link to the actual file in github.

I wish the article would actually link to the github repository.

> It's weird that they start with Github.

I don't think it's safe to assume that they started with Github.

A big point of the article is about "open source" but no link to the github repo? Am I being blind? I scanned the article twice, cannot find it!

They do actually have a link at the bottom, labelled github, outside the article for some reason.

It's also somewhat notable to mention that git-media was written by one of the founders of GitHub. So...that may be why? :)

Obviously you’re wrong or the article is wrong… I’m gonna lean on you being wrong as the article is coming from GitHub and you’re not GitHub.

The irony of this article being hosted on a github.io page...

jcl | karma 5161 | avg karma 2.62 · | 2018-04-06 11:48:41

I don't know... While the title might give that impression, the opening paragraph seems pretty up-front about distinguishing "the open source Git project" from GitHub ("here's our look..."). They don't even mention their not-insignificant contributions to the project, nor do they say things like "we added [x]", even though they legitimately might be able to in some cases.

And, given their line of work, it would be kind of surprising if the GitHub blog didn't cover recent Git developments.

Also it feels like the OP is conflating Git and GitHub.

I linked to an archive of the GitHub issue in question and the reporter's own blog article about it. Are those not primary sources? And you've linked to Reddit?

i386 | karma 2760 | avg karma 3.74 · | 2013-02-05 22:23:58+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. If you work for Github it would be useful if the blog clearly stated it (maybe I just missed it?)

It was posted in 2016. It's not in response to GitHub being bought.

rickycook | karma 692 | avg karma 2.1 · | 2016-09-03 03:19:37+00:00

i assume that's at least partly intentional from the github point of view

vzaliva | karma 1237 | avg karma 2.92 · | 2018-03-16 21:33:09+00:00

It is not often one sees NY Times linking to Github :)
