There's something fabulously, deliciously geeky about using Curl to call a url-shortening service for url's to the web-management console of an online source-code-control system! Githubber's you ROCK!

curl -i http://git.io -F "url=https://github.com/blog/985-git-io-github-url-shortener" -F "code=geek"

gives:
