It's not exactly what you're asking for, but I wrote a blog post that details the steps for creating a repo and hooking it up to github - http://nycda.com/blog/how-to-create-a-git-repo/ http://nycda.com/blog/how-to-create-a-git-repo/ - I cover two methods - creating a repo locally first and connecting it to github, and creating a repo on github first and cloning it so you have it locally (personally, I always do the latter - I think it's simpler, but for completeness' sake I included both)
