Yes, that's correct, users can sign into the new website using their GitHub
account. We're using OmniAuth gem to make this possible, the wiki page on
restyling bioruby.org has some additional details on this.

However, from reading GitHub API docs, I would say that it' not possible to
create a new commit to add travis.yml file to the repository in question
from the site. The site has only read access of all repositories which
belong to a user:
