Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath, and I'm one of the co-founders of GitHub.

GitHub, if you haven't heard of it, has been described as "Facebook for developers." Which is great when talking about GitHub as a website, but not so great when describing GitHub as a business. In fact, I think we're the polar opposite of Facebook as a business: we're small, never took investment, and actually make money. Some have even called us successful.

Which I've always wondered about. Success is very vague, right? Probably even relative. How do you define it?

After thinking for a while I came up with two criteria. The first is profitability. We employ four people full time, one person part time, have thousands of paying customers, and are still growing. In fact, our rate of growth is increasing - which means January was our best month so far, and February is looking pretty damn good.

  As of version 1.1.2, Propane will load and execute the contents of
  ~Library/Application Support/Propane/unsupported/caveatPatchor.js
  immediately following the execution of its own enhancer.js file.

  You can use this mechanism to add your own customizations to Campfire
  in Propane.

  Below you'll find two customization examples.

# Generate a listing of all paths ever used in the repository, along with the
# disk space used by the path throughout the entire history.  Note that sizes
# for trees are cumulative; they include the sizes of all of the paths below
# them, in addition to the tree storage itself. All sizes are in bytes, and
# reflect git's delta and zlib compression.
#
# One caveat is that this is just the _current_ on-disk size. The on-disk size
# of each object may change if git repacks and chooses different delta bases,
