SourceForge seems to be for collaborative projects. GitHub is meant for "real time" changes. I don't know the correct term. For example, at my job, the only way to deploy a piece of software to the cloud is via GitHub. And in some cases, what I've seen are people that can make patches to the code on the spot without having to recompile anything. After that, those changes get reflected right away on the client side but not on the server side. And these changes get controlled via GitHub.
