What Exactly Is GitHub Anyway?

Andreessen Horowitz announced a whopping $100 million investment in GitHub�this week. You can read commentary and speculation all over the web about what GitHub will do with the money, whether this was a good investment for Andreessen Horowitz and whether taking such a large investment is a good thing for GitHub. But what the heck is GitHub and why are developers so excited about it? You may have heard that GitHub is a code sharing and publishing service, or that it's a social networking site for programmers. Both statements are true, but neither explain exactly why GitHub is special.
