Git and GitHub Secrets
summary
Claim: GitHub is the largest Git and Subversion host and quietly exposes lots of practical shortcuts. Concrete items: add diff or patch to a URL for textual diffs and ?w=1 to hide whitespace, smart HTTP as the default with credential caching (git 1.7.9), Subversion over a translation layer, the g.io shortener, an image-diff viewer, gist as hosting for micro-gems, the Hub CLI to turn issues into pull requests, and Git tricks like git add -p, --allow-empty commits, git checkout -- path to copy a file, git blame -w/-M/-C, git rerere and reachable-commit recovery.
