git and GitHub

guslI'm finally working with Git (thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hostilefork and folks on the IRC #git channel). I like the separation between 'commit' and 'push'. In the past, I've worked with CVS and SVN, which apparently don't make that distinction.
'commit' creates a checkpoint in your local machine, to which you can go back (and apparently tracks diffs). 'push' updates the server with the last committed version.
I've been using GitHub as my backup service, which means that I've been committing and pushing "dirty" code (unreadable, untested, etc)... which may become a problem. Will Git let me tag some versions as official?
