<p>At least as far as github.com is concerned, this is not quite
true anymore ;)</p>
<p>Github has grown to be a platform with many, MANY more features
which go way beyond a nice "web GUI wrapper around git". Just to
mention a few (over which I just "stumbled" recently myself):</p>
<p>* Web hosting of "project web pages" (which coincidentally are
managed/updated via a specific git branch containing all the HTML
respectively markdown files): <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://pages.github.com/">https://pages.github.com/</a><br>
</p>
<p>* "Continuous Integration", with the possibility to define own
"actions" ranging from simple "code checking" to building
executables / containers / whatnot:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/guides/about-continuous-integration">https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/guides/about-continuous-integration</a></p>
<p>* Per project Wikis, issue trackers, project pages, ...:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/building-a-strong-community/about-wikis">https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/building-a-strong-community/about-wikis</a></p>
<p>And probably way more.</p>
<p>And yes, git has become the de facto industry standard for source
repositories - so no point in complaining about it ;)</p>
<p>But this mandatory XKCD summarises it indeed perfectly:</p>
<p> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://xkcd.com/1597/">https://xkcd.com/1597/</a></p>
