Oh my fuck, and here I just thought that people use github because it looks purdy. I guess I missed the best feature of all in amongst the glut of features. Web-based editing is going to be grrrreat for my purposes, everything that I'm working with will indeed be in plain text. (php, javascript, html, css, etc) That's a killer app.
I'll check out fugit as well, it'll be great to have all different levels of complexity of collaboration to provide now that the baseline all-access web committing is available. Stage 1: edit on the web. Stage 2: use a simple editor for your os. Stage 3: use a git duplicate for your os. Stage 4: use git on a server hosting the code. I haven't checked out git-web since the first day that I installed git, but is the killer feature of web-based commits something that exists in the git source as well? 'cause it seems like that would be a nice, first step solution to the problem of cross-platform editors. Anyway, this is excellent news, wipes away alot of the editing problems that I was expecting to experience.
