Not stupid. Naive.

Also I went into the organization setting and downgraded everybody's permissions so that they must make pull requests and I must approve them. (Good idea MamaSpoldi)

Yes, this is a great way to do it. I also give the more experienced students permission to merge pull requests, that way they can work independently.

I'm currently writing up a document on what GitHub is and how to use it. If anybody would like to help me with it, PM me and I'll give your Google account access.

Once it's done, this would be a great document for FIRSTwiki....

One last question. I'm currently using the Windows GUI client to work with repositories on GitHub, is there any opposition to that?

There are a lot of ways to use git. I personally find the command line easiest -- but at the end of the day it's all what works best for you.
