For those who prefer Mercurial to Git (I used to be one but I've since 
gone with the tide) there is a Mercurial extension 
<http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/HgGit> which enables you to clone a 
git repository with Mercurial and then do pushes, pulls etc with that 
repository as if it were a Mercurial one.  This means that you can use 
github without having to learn git.
