Why GitHub Won

• hgfront

  2 0 10.0 Python

  Discontinued ABANDONED - A django-based front end for mercurial (hg).

  Around about that time, I was working on a Mercurial frontend https://github.com/tanepiper/hgfront - it was around the time GitHub was starting to pick up, and BitBucket also appeared around then (we spoke to the original developer at the time but nothing came of it). Funnily enough also a Gist-like tool that had inline commenting, forking and formatting (https://github.com/tanepiper/pastemonkey).

  I always wonder what would have happened if we had a dedicated team to make something of it, but in the end git won over hg anyway so likely a moot point.

  Google is the good guy to prevent monopolies ;)
