Background

DNN moved all development to Github in late 2013 -this was for a number of reasons, with the key one being described in this blog

As a company founded around an Open Source product, and with a distributed team, we wanted a new source control system which better matched our team. It was also extremely important to us that the system support both public and private projects so that we could open the DNN platform repository while also allowing us to keep other projects private. When we looked at all the requirements it was obvious to the team that Git was the right source control system for our distributed team. As one of the leading Git providers, we felt GitHub would be a great tool for us and our community and in fact have had several community requests to migrate to this tool.
