Please don't interfere with the native scrolling behavior.

I usually don't like forced scroll myself, but I have to say that I'm personally satisfied with the results of this site. But I hear you and when the site goes from landing page to real website we will make sure to have a nice scroll experience for everyone :)

It breaks the back button.

Cool. I've wanted to try GitCop (which seems to do something similar) for a while, but didn't get around to it yet. > Magically enforce your GitHub contribution guidelines. Looks pretty non-magical and quite straightforward to me. I even get to set explicit rules. Why the 'magic' branding?

I'm glad to hear that you get our message! The 'magic' branding is there because everything is done automatically (i.e. it's a cloud service) without the need to install anything on the client side.

And we love magic ;)

That seems great, but the name doesn't really mean what the service does.

Thanks! We decided to not pick a too specific name (like something with "contributing"), since in the future we want to provide services that automates other types of tasks related to working with git. Hence the "GitMagic" name :)

Please! Maybe I'm weird but sometimes I simply want to reposition text on my screen. Just a slight adjustment, think eye level, so it's a bit easier to read and sites like this don't allow me to do so.

Tired of all the GitHub drama? We're close to launching GitMagic to fix some of that. If you have any questions, please ask, we’re happy to answer them :) And all feedback are appreciated.

Any plans to have a tie-in for GitLab repos, as well?

It's a cloud service? I'm probably missing something, but it looks like a smallish git linter script? I guess I'm not seeing where all the work went to make this something more than an OSS script one could write in two hours.
