When I go to a project’s directory to work on it after a while I almost always do a git status. This makes it obsolete: “Henrik has a great article explaining why and how to display Git’s dirty state status (along with the branch, of course) in your bash prompt.”

(From Dirty Git State in Your Prompt - GitHub.)

Another cool idea from Github: “GitHub Pages allow you to publish web content to a github.com subdomain named after your username. With Pages, publishing web content becomes as easy as pushing to your GitHub repository.”

(From GitHub Pages — GitHub.)

This is a fun idea: bloggit, versioncontrol for my mind “David Baldwin has said goodbye to WordPress and started using GitHub as his blog.”
