From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

github, it seems to be the only with with a code search worth anything.
but it also has really nice discoverability for applications. I have found so many cool applications on GitHub using their topics system and language filtering.
I haven't been able to find any replication at all with any of the other stuff. so even if you do use another repo, please mirror on GitHub. Even if only so people can find it and search the code.
