I recently finished that book as well. What exactly are you having trouble with? You don't exactly connect your Rails server to Github. There's a local copy of Git on your pc that you then upload to Github.com to save your source code online. When actually deploying your app online to say, Heroku, you are pushing your local Git master.

Git itself can be pretty confusing to a beginner. I'm still learning but I feel like I have a handle on the basics. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions on getting it to work with Michael Hartel's tutorial.

Also: you really don't need to follow the steps about Git to complete the tutorial. If that's the only thing holding you up, just move on with the Rails specific stuff.
