These instructions are for the MacOSX client, but they will most likely translate relatively easy to windows.

Download github app. https://mac.github.com https://windows.github.com
Clone repository
- Select your user name in the left column window
- Select repo from list of your repositories
- Select 'Clone'/'Clone to Computer'
Syncing
- With the github app the 'Sync' button does both pushing and pulling simultaneously.
- Always pull before making changes and pushing
Commits
- Select files that you wish to commit (by default they are all selected)
- Click 'Commit' to stage changes for pushing.
- Commits are not synced with repo until you press 'Sync'
Creating a Branch
- By default everything is on the master branch
- If you are going to make some changes that may take some time or implimenting a specific feature, then create a new branch.
- Do this by selecting 'Branches' from the left column.
- Then select the '+' next to the branch you wish to break from
- Creating a branch copies all the existing commits in that branch into the new one. Commits to each branch will remain seperate until they are merged again.

You may need to become familiar with using github command line to manage things like merges and such.
