Learning how to use the git app on your local machine is highly recommended for any programmer or webdesigner, though there's a high initial learning curve. My recommendation, especially if you're running windows, is to try setting up git-tortoise http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ as a really simple solution for starting to harness git's power. Of course, you can also always just use github's web interface to contribute patches, though that won't be as clean on our end.
