So.. what is this and how/when would I use it?

It's an implementation of the github api in vimL, the native vim language. So you would use it to build a vim extension that interacts with github.

Implementation of an ... SDK, maybe? Implementation of an API would be another Github, right?

You're just making life difficult for people by arguing stupidly obvious specifics

Well it confused me for a couple seconds. Just seems lazy and careless to call it something it clearly is not

Couple of notes on the title:

- it should probably start with "Show HN: " (which is kind of a convention when you're posting your own code)

- the indefinite article in English has two forms, the choice of which depends on whether the word following starts with a consonant or a vowel sound. In the former case, use "a"; in the latter, use "an". Since "GitHub" starts with a consonant sound, the correct usage here would be "A GitHub..."

HTH! HAND.

dang
We added "Show HN" above.

Please mention the "curl" dependency in the readme.

What platform are you on that doesn't ship with curl?

ArchLinux. IIRC, one of the BSDs doesn't include it either.

I mis-read this was "implemented in VRML".

That would be impressive. :P
