I think that most people are already under the misapprehension that Git and GitHub are the same thing. This style of deliberate confusion from GitHub must be seen to be by design. They are Microsoft; they do not get the benefit of the doubt.
It's pretty clear they're talking about a separate project.
Really? This seems just very much an anti Microsoft view, especially with that final sentence.
Yeah actually, a lot are. There are also a lot of GitHub users who don't know what git is at all.
I don't think this blog post is going to further misinform them though, they also don't read technical blog posts.
GitHub employs at least three full time git contributors, including the author of this blog post.
(Disclaimer: I am a GitHub employee who works on git-adjacent things)
Um - I thought Microsoft does have a big role - doesn't Johannes do the Git for Windows stuff and work at Microsoft, and Jeff work for github etc etc.
