This Git stuff is ridiculously arcane. Any chance of a plain-English walkthrough of setting it up?

GitHub has some good documentation available at http://help.github.com/ that covers setting up git.

Note that, to use PhoneGap Build, you don't need to use git - you can always just upload a zip file containing your application assets.

Also this may help (Suggest cd'ing into Downloads then doing the following),

curl http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.5.tar.gz -O
tar xzvf git-1.7.1.tar.gz
cd git-1.7.5
make configure
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
NO_MSGFMT=yes make prefix=/usr/local all
sudo make install

Thanks, I'll check it out. Git would be good for off-site backup of source code.
