> The killer feature is stupid easy forking and sending pull requests with the one interface.
That's the part that wasn't really possible before git though. But you could always do an anonymous checkout and make your changes there,you could even do a pull request (via a patch). There was no need to signup for that, even though most of us had a source forge account (I still do) anyway.
Found some tiny project that does almost everything you want, but has a tiny feature you can implement easy? No worries, fork, add it.
Even if it's never pushed upstream, it's easy for someone to find and perhaps use themselves.
I do this with things like zabbix templates/scripts and docker containers that are 99% what I want.
Previously there was no easy way to do this - I'd have to set up an entirely new sourceforge/google code/etc account, which is a lot more effort.
