This assumes that OP actually meant git…

I fear they may have had no idea what the distinction between git and GitHub is and intended to say GitHub.

Thought it was a good opportunity to potentionally learn something new. Seems to have worked out.

Changed, but why Git but not GitHub for version control:

Because “Git” is the technology. GitHub is just one site that works with it.

I see, I thought Git and GitHub are not one and the same.

There’s plenty of git forges that aren’t GitHub. Git itself has nothing to do with central servers and can theoretically be used in a completely decentralized manner.

At college some guys were self hosting a git server for a project but it went down. We resorted to a USB stick that acted as remote and was passed around. That was awesome to see, for about a day…

Also if you go with git instead of github you should use git’s icon

Speaking from experience, in the past year, I’ve used 3 different hosting providers for git repositories at work. Only one of them is GitHub. It’s good to keep your options open - git isn’t locked to any particular provider, after all.
