I've made a lot of small changes to projects using the Github editor. If you've come across a project with a small change that you need it's great and easy to just press edit, change a few lines and commit. Then you let the CI server run the tests. Pretty frictionless.

Editing multiple files is a pain though, you'd need one per commit, so this seems to solve that for me.

I stopped making changes through GitHub's editor after it started marking those commits as modified using the editor. I felt like a n00b and everybody could see it.

It's not... n00bish(?) to do a change in 5 seconds rather than clone the repo, open your IDE, run the tests, commit and push.

I was being tongue in cheek. Probably not clear enough. :)
