github or git?  In any case, have you tried setting up a local and a remote
on your local system to try out the commands without the fear of ruining
your working repo?  You can set up a local and remote on your local
computer, and push and pull from them in the same way you do with your
local repo and github.  Example:

mkdir test
cd test

git init local_repo
cd local_repo
... add files, commit, etc.

cd ../test
git clone --bare local_repo/ remote_repo

cd ../local_repo
git remote add origin ../remote_repo
... add more changes and commit
git push origin master

Note, to be able to push, that repo needs to be bare.  You can also add a
dummy linux user to your local system to play the role of a contributor.

Using this kind of setup really helped me understand git better.
