With Github so popular now, not everyone is aware of the workflows that git provides out-of-the-box for collaboration. Thought this may pique some people's curiosity :)

Yeah lol I know what you mean. I think what I meant to say was that I hear Github mentioned so much now compared to, say, 10 years ago. From non-technical people, teams who historically used subversion or even just no version control system at all.

Out of curiosity I looked it up on Google trends: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2013-09-04%202023-09-04&q=github

Yeah I think the last few years they have definitely ramped up and become even more attractive. Especially after they got rid of their private repository limitations which their competitors, like GitLab, had freely available.
