Kind of OT: I have just opened a free github account to follow a project. Any tips for a painfully pathetic n00b for learning to use github generally?

If you understand Git well enough, then the only major difference Github adds is pull requests, which is a pretty intuitive concept once you understand Git branching.

Try http://git-scm.com/ for a great (official) tutorial.

I actually know nothing about Git. But thank you for replying. Will check the link. :-)

I'd saved this link of an interactive "Learn Git" training program: http://pcottle.github.io/learnGitBranching
