Yes, i understand the logic behind that, but had a difficult time finding the specific extention documented. That was just a recent example for illustration. What I'm trying to find is a full user manual for github. Not little tidbits scattered all over. Does that exist, and I'm just not finding it? I just keep feeling I'm missing a lot of functionality somewhere. Or maybe im expecting it to be a full alternative to something like Sourceforge when it isn't intended to be. Thanks.

A complete introduction to Git can be found at http://learn.github.com/p/intro.html. I know you mentioned that you're comfortable with Git, but some of the information there may be of some use.

GitHub has a series of help articles, which could be regarded as a manual of sorts. They're at https://help.github.com/
