Remember when git was new and challenging svn and one of the big selling points was about how great it was to have a decentralized version control system -- and then everyone immediately started using GitHub because a canonical center of your version control system was the only realistic way?

I recently made a 2 week module on git for bioinformatics students. They have trouble distinguishing between git and GitHub. It’s understandable tbh. After all, what’s the point of git without a way to collaborate with others? (ended up adding a whole section on Git != GitHub)
