Github is storing a remote copy of source code files, accessible
through their web interface for the casual browser, but also through a
server for the git version control system, easily allowing people to
grab the codebase and sync changes to it.

So you can browse the code hosted there through their website, or
download a "frozen" archive of its present state (the ZIP download
button), or if you have git installed on your computer, "clone" the
codebase. This later option allows you to regularly sync the state of
your local copy with recent changes, submit your changes for review to
the original author, and all the niceties of a revision control
system.

If you have never used source revision control (seems weird at first
for projects where you're the only developer...), just give it a
try... Moving back to earlier revisions, finding out at which revision
and in which context a line was changed, moving back and forth between
a stable and a "development" version, moving back and forth between
two branches of changes affecting several files to try different
solutions to a problem... All super useful stuff, you can't live
without once you are used to it.
