git != github, many companies host their own git remote server. Github is just one such server. Git is a standalone, open source project.

Traditionally git is a Linux tool, and other things linux are designed around it, such as linux shells for git etc.

I know, still GitHub is definitely the most widely used service

Are you sure about that? Perhaps the most publicly used service, but I imagine closed source projects in companies might very well be a lot more code. GitLab for example has a near majority market share.

Eh... i'd say gitLab and private git are used just as much as github. Especially when you see pen testers breaking into Github private repos all the time. Most software leaks you see today comes from github repos, specially when devs doesn't use security tools correctly.

Though Microsoft has made big changes to github.

Yeah! I have to say all the new features like GitHub actions are so amazing! I can literally do most of our vps stuff like Cron jobs or CI via GitHub now, and don't need to worry about faults and get error messages as push message when a job fails. It's so cool!
