git --> github

porn --> pornhub

best explanation of github for noobs




That's actually an excellent way of explaining it.

Though it's frustrating that it's pornhub specifically, because referencing pornography can be awkward or impractical in workplace contexts.


GrubHub?


StubHub?


A safer-for-work version might use:

fried chicken --> KFC


bat --> bathub


Wow, I didn't know that, that thing is supposed to be a hub for bats.... Learn something new every day!


I use video --> youtube

"Porn" is a genre of video and YouTube is better known than pornhub.


But the whole point of the "porn --> Pornhub" half-joke analogy is that it shares the word "hub" with Github!


Lol
