I'm not taking a position on one side or the other, but I do see a lot of
benefit for open source projects to use github.  For example, I like the
network view that github provides, and also it's great to be able to link to
a section of code at a specific version.  It seems to provide a favorable
environment that fosters contribution.

As far as using git, I see your point about it being the same amount of
commands.  Git is easy to use without github.  By more commits to commit
your work to the repository, are you referring to you would need to push to
two git repos instead of one?
