GitHub: hosting for git repositories

Most recently, 2 years ago, Linus Torvalds wrote Git, a version control system, or rather, distributed scm. Since then, the number of developers using it has increased exponentially.
Not so long ago, about two months ago, I decided to see what the hell is and since then I have been using it every day and in all projects with which I work (well, to be honest, almost all have one project under svn, which is everywhere there were zachekinin spoiled symlinks, it’s just impossible to use git).

So why is git so good?
- Clean - the guarantee of health . Unlike svn, only one .git directory is created, where all the information needed by the system is stored, no .svn directories are created for the entire project.
- Integration with svn . Yes, you can use git when working with the svn repository! For this, git-svn is included. However, as mentioned above, if the svn repository had been locked up, then git will not be able to convert it to its format.
- You can use it while being offline . Even if you have problems with the Internet, you can still check, then just synchronize the repository with the server (if you need it).
- Branches . Remember the branches in svn? Forget it. With git, branches will become an everyday and very convenient thing.
- And finally , as they say, it's a cool tool for coolkidz.

This is me to what? I can invite the first three people to github beta (http://github.com) , believe me, you will not regret. Very, very much please, write only if you really use git, and not just to look. Thanks in advance.
