Just to be clear, this appears as if it's some kind of web wrapper to `git add file.ext && git commit -m "<my message>" && git push`?

- imron 11y agoYou'd be surprised how many people struggle with understanding and doing what you just wrote (and even in knowing that's what they need to do).
- hasenj 11y agoIt's more like the "edit file" feature where you can edit in-place on the github web interface directly. It makes github a more complete "gui" for git. To be honest I don't feel that this is the right approach. But I'm a technical user so who knows. But it feels like github is forking off to a different direction. Probably trying to look more "inviting" to corporate users; companies where sales are determined by non-technical managerial users. I can easily imagine such types asking questions like: "I want to upload a file to my team's repo, how can I do that?". It would make it way easier for non-technical users to mess up the repo with tons of binary files, like images, movies, word documents, and excel sheets.
