Out of curiosity, how would you think about security when running a service like this? Anything could be in those repos, no?

#32I can see the value in this, but I probably wouldn't use it. I run a WAMP server on my desktop and have made an Alias in my httpd.conf to my Github Repos directory, allowing me to cruise in and see example html pages very easily. I just clone the repo in windows, and then I can use /git/REPO/coolthing.js in a script tag. I use a chrome extension for rendering README.md (markdown) files. I use Apaxy ( http://adamwhitc…

#34What this project does really wasn't clear to me until I tried reidrac's canvas-raycasting URL, so here is a (hopefully more clear) explanation: If a github repo has an index.html file and you click on it, github will show you the source instead of the webpage. 5minfork shows you the webpage so that you can have an idea of what the repo is about.
If you don't mind, I'll pinch that and whack it on the index.html page.
I certainly don't mind! I'm glad I could be useful.
