dlvr.it provides this out of the box. There are probably other services that do the same. I think TwitterFeed provides options for only posting certain content but it's been a while since I used it

If you don't have a controll to transform github event into tweet The body in RSS is much longer then 140 symbols. You would need to parse it, normalize it and only then generate a tweet body. And you need a full featured programming language support to do that.

Also, you need at least several days to setup all types of github events with edge cases.

Believe me, this is not an option if you want things look really good.
