I love git, and I love github, but I honestly have not found any of the "mangle your repos through our website" features of github compelling. Perhaps it's because I don't have projects with hundreds of watchers, a couple dozen forks, and a pull request coming in every day. I just feel a lot more comfortable working with my repos on my own machine(s), with the CLI git commands. I can do what I want locally, and I have full control over any mangling or bungling, as well as whether or not said bungling gets pushed to what is often the official repo for the project (namely, the github repo of the project).
