I see the future of GitHub as a new type of operating system. Git as the file system for an OS isn't too surprising but starting with an open, highly collaborative network of users with many forks and interdependent repos at the file-system level makes for an OS that could barely have been imagined on paper. If they integrate Atom online like Cloud9 then with automatic build\hosting its basically the full stack for developing and using the web where the current GitHub repo viewers are the equivalent of Finder/Explorer. The Google/MS capitulation to GitHub will be seen as a catastrophic handover of power if they can build a moat around this. Maybe the distributed and open nature of both git and the web will prevent any moat? Interesting times.
