No other distributed version control system can list so many major free software projects on its
&quote;used-by&quote; page. This means that Git seems to work for these projects and
that large group of free software developers were able to agree on Git.
</div>

<div class="text">
But this also means that all the developers participating in those many projects have learned to
use Git and have installed Git on their machines. So if you want others to contribute to your
project, it is much more likely that they do so, if you use the same DVCS that they are already
familiar with.

Major projects that use Git:
<ul>
<li>Android</li>
<li>Apache Software Foundation (At least they officially mirror to Git.)</li>
<li>Debian (almost all packages, if a DVCS is used)</li>
<li>Drupal</li>
<li>Eclipse</li>
<li>Fedora</li>
<li>Gnome</li>
<li>KDE</li>
<li>The Linux Kernel of course ...</li>
<li>Perl</li>
<li>PHP (decided to migrate to Git)</li>
<li>PostgreSQL</li>
<li>Qt</li>
<li>Ruby on Rails (and it seems the Ruby world in general prefers Git)</li>
<li>all freedesktop.org projects, including X.org</li>
