I can't push, "Permission denied (publickey)"

Make sure you've set up an SSH key and are using the correct URL (they are case-sensitive). Check this guide for more information.

My commits aren't linked to my user, to the wrong user, or don't have a gravatar

Make sure your git and GitHub email settings match.

You may also need to check your Gravatar account to make sure your Gravatar has a "G" rating.

I changed my gravatar but it's not updating

Browsers cache gravatar images for a very long time, clear your cache.

Syntax highlighting isn't working for my language

We use the excellent pygments library for our syntax highlighting. Check their list of supported languages and learn how to specify a lexer for yours. If you contribute a lexer back to pygments, let us know and we’ll make sure it’s made available here on GitHub.

Can I use Eclipse/EGit with GitHub?

Yes, see this writup for help.

Are there any screencasts or other resources out there for git?

Yes, you can find a (probably incomplete) list here.
