Why Github for your ColdFusion Open Source Project

I have been touting Github for ColdFusion open source projects. I have a great example of why. Bob Silverberg has been working on ValidateThis for Wheels. This consists of two projects, the ValidateThis framework and a ValidateThis Wheels plugin. He forked my repository of the plugin and made a change, then sent me a pull request. All I had to do was add Bob's remote branch to my local repository, fetch the changes, then merge in the changes, and push the update. Notice I didn't change from my branch. I found the commands here.
git remote add bob git://github.com/bobsilverberg/validateThisCFWheels.git
git fetch bob
git merge bob/master
git push
