I mean I get to choose my own fonts and my own size, and I can copy+paste by selecting with the mouse. It's much more convenient than using cmd.exe directly (Console2 is just a wrapper on top of cmd.exe). Plus I have tabs so I can quickly switch between multiple projects.

Nothing prevents you from invoking git.exe from cmd.exe...

I had a repository on bitbucket once. I migrated to github and haven't looked back.

Re windows support - I use git on windows at work, I don't see why everyone complains about it, works just as well as it does on linux/OS X for me. The only exception to this is when you need to push to a windows machine, which isn't something you're going to encounter much if you're using github, as most if not all pushing will be to github.

I can see one foreseeable problem with github though, the dwt2 repo clocks in at 280 megs. Github allows up to 300Mb of space for free projects.

What's making the download so big anyway?

Oh wait, this appears to be a *soft* limit only. I'm not sure exactly
what that means, but the pop-up says:
"GitHub does not have any hard storage limits. We have soft limits for
each plan to prevent abuse. We find almost everyone uses a small
fraction of this limit. If you find yourself needing more disk space
for a legitimate use, email support@github.com. "

GitHub allows any repo size, as long as it's public, really. The 300 MB is not a hard limit, and they will generally not complain about larger sizes if you're public.

(I contacted GitHub support about this.)

That is to say, you don't have to email them about it.

One more who likes git, that's good.
