Stop right there. I'm pretty sure what GitHub does when you click the 'edit' button is to _first_ create a fork (or more accurately, adds a job to their queue to create a fork in the background), and then pops open an editor. So your changes go in a separate working copy on the server. This neatly avoids the whole problem you're seeking a solution to.
