I'm really happy to see this feature. Sometimes I see a small problem in somebody else's code or documentation and out of sheer laziness I don't go though the trouble of forking, cloning, editing, pushing and sending a pull request. I think this will be wonderful for exactly those situations and should help encourage more people to participate in open source.

The edit feature has been there for a long time. They have added an improved editor.

Is github is speeding up even internet time? The edit button was only added to unowned repositories at the end of April. https://github.com/blog/844-forking-with-the-edit-button

That blog post is about automatically forking with edit. The edit button was discovered by our users nearly 3 years ago: https://github.com/blog/143-inline-file-editing

forking with edit is what the parent comment was talking about.

Ha, can't believe I completely missed that.
