They built the page with Bootstrap. Almost all the CSS classes are provided by it. What's wrong with that?

Nothing considering how many "start ups" do the exact same thing. At least github enterprise changed some stuff.

I wasn't suggesting anything's wrong with it. Certainly the creator of Bootstrap has liberty to copy himself. I guess I'm just a little surprised he didn't want to showcase his variety.

Meh, I'm usually not one for variety :).

The purple space background was designed by an illustrator here at GitHub and I just put it to use. That the page ended up being purple and blue like Bootstrap is kind of just a coincidence. Previously the Enterprise site's background was a custom-made OS X ish space background—lots of blue and gold.

Beyond that I don't see a huge concern of the two looking similar. Bootstrap 3's homepage will be massively different from v2s today if it helps though.
