I really like this, but I think a lot of the examples so far aren't really taking advantage of what makes this different.

What makes Github different is that it's connected to your version control, so I don't see this being especially useful for things like personal websites, but it could be a great way to supplement the admin and analytics offered by Github already.

Yeah, this might make a nice tool for publishing any api docs (checkout a separate branch, generate, commit, and push your api docs), or code coverage reports, etc.

I don't know if it's really taken off, but a bug tracking tool like ditz could really benefit from this (it can generate an html report based on the bug "database" stored in your git repo).
