This week GitHub made an announcement where in the past private repositories was a paid for service. Now a developer can create a private repository with up to three collaborators per repository at no cost.
So if you ever wanted to collaborate with others on a project now is the time.
Advice when creating a repository for a project.
All work for changes is done through Team Explorer. For example, the Synchronization tab for the project, you can sync up with changes in the repository or push changes.
Pushes changes to the repository is easy also via another tab under Team Explorer
Check out what a (if you never seen one before) repository view in your browser, the following is one of my public repos. Each repository should have a readme file, until recently they were not easy to create but the following editor which integrates into Visual Studio makes it super easy.
Editor installer, editor documentation.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help, this will help others who are looking for solutions to the same or similar problem. Contact via my Twitter (Karen Payne) or Facebook (Karen Payne) via my MSDN profile but will not answer coding question on either.

Advice when creating a repository for a project.
- Think about the name to give the repository. You can not change it once created. On a similar note the make it extremely difficult to delete a repository but there are really good reasons for this, I have a lot of repositories and only once deleted one.
- Beforehand, make sure each collaborator is working in the same version of Visual Studio.
- Communicate who will be working on specific files so not to clash with another developer, no different than working in Microsoft Team Foundation Server aka Visual Studio online.
