Dunno. I really only use git from the commandline.
There's git integration built into RubyMine, but I don't trust it enough 
to use it. I just drop out to a terminal prompt and issue git commands 
there.

I know github has some gui apps, but I don't know anything about them.
The important part, after you sign up for a github account, is to fork 
the runrev livecode repository. Then you clone a local version of that 
on your local machine. It's a one-time thing, and it's pretty easy to do.

Getting further along:
When you've made local changes that you want to contribute, you push 
them back to your forked repository on github, and then issue a pull 
request so that someone from runrev can look it over and pull it into 
their main repository.

There are also some notes at

They're mostly about git itself, but there's some github stuff as well.

...and you really want gitk or tig or something similar.
