GitHub associates a unique resource ID (or "database ID" or just "ID") with each API-accessible resource. For example, each [issue][issue-id], [repository][repository-id], and [user][user-id] has a global ID.

• PhotoSync is a nifty iOS app for syncing photos to a number of different destinations. It's free for low-quality
