Hacker News Reader

You got to be kidding. Please read VERY CAREFULLY what is Git [1] and what is GitHub [2]. The fact that GitHub only hosts Git repositories is only a matter of choice, Git repositories can be hosted in any server without any (big) restriction. Please restrain yourself from making useless comments if you don't have enough information about it.

Given that J_Darnley's HN profile includes a link to his GitLab profile, I think it's fair to guess that he was being sarcastic.

Congratulations.

I feel badly for the person who didn't realize you were sarcastic, passionately defended the idea that git != github, and got down-voted as their congratulations.

Please don't break the HN guidelines by being uncivil, even when another comment is bad. (Also, please don't use all caps for emphasis.)
