Not everything goes on github though. I occasionally use patch for local things because it keeps such a clean change log. I've also used it for various translation hacks. eg: delete everything between quotes in a copy, create the diff, edit everything in a significantly reduced file with the necessary changes being one right after another, and then using patch to complete the translation. It might sound round-about, but it is amazingly efficient.
