GitHub really does nothing to make day-to-day usage of Git easy–it doesn't solve merge conflicts. It doesn't allow you to rebase commits. It doesn't find commits that you inadvertently wrote out of the branch. What it really does is provide a nice GUI around the current state of the repository and add some collaborative tools.

The big help for me at the time was the ease to navigate files accross merges, branches, commits, and share a specific point to anyone through a simple URL.

Up until this day navigating code feels more natural on the site that on native apps like sourcetree. I really miss the ease to see the same file from two different branches or commits, the feature might be there in native apps but I just couldn’t find it.
