Git is a distributed version control system. A common workflow is to have one repository that acts as the common "server" which you keep on github. However, anyone that participates clones the repository and has a full copy of the repository on their machine. They make changes and commit them to their own repository. Before joining the "server" code one fetches the latest updates from the server to solve any conflicting merge issues, then "pushes" their changes to the server. Depending on your setup different users can have push rights, or may be required to make a pull request for an administrator to pull the changes into the server repository.
