Some more practical tips:
Install the `hub` CLI[1]. Being able to fork, open and checkout pull-requests directly from the command-line reduced a lot of friction that I had.
Install the `h` tool[2] to automatically checkout repos in a fixed layout compatible with Go. `h org/repo` automatically clones and changes directory in one command. Instead of browsing a repo in the browser, use `h` and directly jump into the code.
Install the `vim-rhubarb` plugin[3]. This allows to select a few lines in the code and then type `:Gbrowse` to open the browser, with the same lines selected on GitHub. And then share the location to a colleague.
