From other discussion, it looks like there are two possible workflows. The one that you describe is the more SVN-like in that all operations are ultimately push/pull against the origin master. The second seems to involve use of the github web page to create a fork, and a commit to the origin master seems to involve a pull request. I can see the use of the latter approach when working on something requiring discussion or review, and am wondering what the standard dev model should be.
