(I am sure that experienced developers who use `git` and `Github` would not confuse the two. But that is not the case for `git` newbies). And unfortunately, the capabilities of GitHub.com is more limited than a local git repo (as I just discovered). e.g One cannot amend a commit on GitHub.com without amending the commit on a local git repo and pushing the changes to GitHub.com.
