(anyone have a link to a tutorial on how to use it for FRC?)

Yes, that is one of git (and therefore Github's) most powerful features. Most code that is used for FRC (java or c++) will be automatically merged very nicely.
Github is also one of the largest hosted source control products used today. It's a good skill to have (ability to use git) as you will need to use it out in the professional world.
Pull requests are one feature Github has which enable teams to do code review (aka before code enters the main code base, another person has to look over it first). This is a really good practice to get into and Github makes it very easy to do.

Lastly, Github gives FRC teams a free silver organization (
