It's a good idea. The existence of other groups trying it underlines that it IS a good idea, and you might be able to start working on it today. Others have mentioned Palantir (for-profit) and 18F and USDS (within the federal governmen

somehow when I was testing it, I thought I needed to use rm -r --cached to remove a previously untracked file. It should do git reset in most cases. Edit: now recommends git reset unless you did "git add ." or something like that.

It will print (not run) the command unless you type 'gitjk -f' When I run 'rm -r' on my machine it warns me about every file in the .git directory.

This is a big advance for mapping and open data on GitHub! Last year I was working with Boston and Cambridge to open their mapping data, and in addition to GitHub I was encouraging them to use GeoGit (geogit.org). Some of our projects (bike
