It's inspiring to see how far the GitHub guys have been able to take what started out as a side project done just for fun.

Please, please, run http://github.com/training through spellchecker.

I can't believe I let that up with those spelling errors. Thanks for pointing that out. It's fixed and will go out with our next push. I really am better at training than I am at spelling :) For the longest time, I had been spelling 'carat' as 'carrot' (referring to the '^' character).

[andreyf → schacon]

You mean car-e-t ;)

(carat is a measure of gold purity)

[schacon → andreyf]

annnnd, you see what I mean...

[run4yourlives → andreyf]

That could also be karat, and it's for all gems AKAIK, not just gold.

(Talk about picking the worst example ever!) :-)

Welcome to the club. I released a program back in the 80s called "calender"... at 1.2 I changed it from a pair of smooth rollers used to press paper and cloth to create a shiny surface in to "calendar" which described its function much better.

English is a silly language.

Am I missing something? What's misspelled?

[account_name → compay]

"company" has an 'n'

[compay → account_name]

True, but "compay" doesn't. :-)

Congratulations. It seems like Git is really taking over SVN. Google Code uses SVN for checkouts, but now that Android is being shifted over to Git, it seems like the rest of their version control might go along with it.
