Are you kidding? Practical training isn't exclusively the domain of "a few high profile colleges." In fact, the more high profile your college, the less likely it is that you'll get practical training. I refuse to believe that there are many schools teaching CS that don't even cover the basics like how to commit something to git. You also make it sound like Github (which is just a commercial Git hosting service) is advanced "CS stuff" that you can't grasp without having this knowledge handed to you at an elite school. Most professionals and students of CS literally learn most or all of it in their spare time.
