GitHub starter guide?

[Richard Gaskin]

GitHub seems very powerful, but it seems usability takes a back seat there.

I'd like to start using it and encourage others to as well, but at first 
glance it's dauntingly opaque to the point of off-putting.

Anyone here know of a good guide to get started with it?

TIA -
