       As one of perhaps several who recommended you try R-Forge, I will 
quote here something I read on this list:  "Don't do as I say.  Do as 
Hadley does."  (I thought that was in a Fortune, but I can't find it now.)


       I have not used github in this way but with synching to R-Forge, 
it sounds like a great way to have the best of both worlds.
