Github doesn't "quack" or "look like" a social network. (unless
you have a ridiculous broad definition of "social network": one
that would encompass anything from forums, IRC, and email
accounts)
It comprises a social network in a sense that every user has his
own "diary" - a place to store and share his work, and users can
follow and watch diaries they're interested in, and when they get
notified on updates in the followed diaries, they instantly go
there to like, discuss and comment. And - in case of github -
contribute.
