Simple reason Peter Miller (the author of aegis/cook) for whatever reason *NEVER* tried to market his stuff while GIT made a specific effort of attempting to get outside users. Peter (like most FOSS authors) wrote it first and formost for himself and never say any need for others to use it per se. It would take too long to summarize all the differences (I have already stated the major ones in the thread though). If your really interested take a look at the material at aegis.sf.net. > Can you explain? > > Seriously, if it's so much better then please do tell! > The #1 reason (above all else IMO) is it doesn't rely (directly or indirectly) on any third party for it's basic operation (which github does unless the foundation wanted to duplicate which is a waste of time). The other main reason it works with existing tools where from what you describe GitHub requires you install something (by working I mean you can look at the baseline without any special tools) Finally since your addicted to newness you will not get the most important difference aegis has been in production for over 20 years where git hub 5 or 6? -- Aryeh M.
