Meta: Beautifully written release summary, including hyperlinks and animated gif "demos". Inspirational for our own releases :-)
I find the gifs make the text around them far harder to focus on. I'd much prefer they only played on click or hover.
This is great and all, but do status bars and terminal colorings really warrant this kind of fanfare? I love git and I'm very happy that they are constantly releasing new stuff, but I think we should draw a line somewhere on what really matters and what doesn't as far as news coverage.

Nice formatting aside, I am slightly concerned that GitHub "releasing a release note" for Git would further blur the distinction between the two for new programmers. If I were new to Git and GitHub, I would have thought that Git is a product of the company GitHub. Edit: After searching through git repo and official site, I could not find any nicely "rendered" release note beyond the official release note in raw markd…
Oh geez, you're giving me flashbacks to trying to introduce Github to non-technical students. I basically just don't even try to explain the difference, because I have them use a minimal set of git's functionality, that is, the subcommands add, commit, and push...and of course, clone and init at the beginning of the quarter. And I teach them virtually nothing about Github other than that it's a website that you inter…
I like the cameraphone/instagram analogy. Thanks! I usually do all the pushes/pulls etc. using a file:// remote so that people can see what happens and then just tell them that github is what happens with you move the remote to the cloud and give it a nice UI.
Why do git developers concern about the colored output? It's completely unrelated to SCM at all. I love the functionality. But it shouldn't be only for git. Can we have a separate utility that reads a diff and gloriously print out the contents, all by itself, and only that?
I really don't want to see git becomes another bloatware.

I do corporate trainings on git. Many prospective clients or vendors call me asking for "g.i.t. hub" trainings. Thankfully though, most of these are just the misinformed marketing teams. The engineering people usually grasp the difference easily when I finally reach the parts about collaboration. I like the cameraphone/instagram analogy. Thanks!

Do you know what they might have used to make the gifs?
Does anybody really care about the progress meters? Those useless numbers! You can try to tell me you are not stuck every half second or so, but I don't want to see all the noise. I'd rather it not print out anything by default unless I ask for it or it fails. Why do git developers concern about the colored output? It's completely unrelated to SCM at all.
