I read that Linux usage is much higher in India (I think ~13% vs 5% in the US, though the statistics are probably outdated). I am totally ignorant when it comes to India, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm wondering if the rise of Linux users has something to do with the government trying to limit access to Github.
Good news. Hopefully this will help to finally break the de facto monopoly of Microsoft's GitHub and bring the distributed aspect of Git - away from gatekeeper platforms - back into the foreground.
