Github is go

The cool Git repository host and online interface, GitHub went officially live today. It does mean paying now for private repos, but I have no problem with that - it's a great service and they're adding cool features like comments on commits that can be pointed at specific lines of code. I've been using GitHub for a few weeks on a personal project and so far it's been very good. I'm sure I'd see more benefit from it when working with other developers on a project, but even as an external host for personal git repos it's good for me. It also has Lighthouse integration, which they've just made easier by handling it through the web interface rather than git post-commit hooks, although the 2 commits I've pushed since switching to that feature haven't shown up in Lighthouse yet. I'll wait a while and see if it's just a lag on launch day.
