Custom Libraries and Github..?? - El Forum - 03-24-2012

I've got a library for PayPal I've written and have been maintaining for CodeIgniter that seems to be getting some good feedback on BinPress.com (http://www.binpress.com/developer/apps/reviews?app_id=140)
I'm just finally getting into Github having never used any version control system before. I was able to get a basic repo setup and push files to it, but that's about as far as I've gotten.
For my CI libraries, what's the best practice for providing custom libraries, and then maybe even something that becomes part of the stable release one day? I think I kind have an idea, but I think I may also just have read enough to be using terms incorrectly and sound like an idiot. I'm still pretty lost with Github I think.
Should I just create my own repo and put nothing in it but my library files? Should I create my own repo and actually keep an entire CI version included with it?
I think that's where Forking comes into play..?? If I fork the CI repo and then make my changes there that seems like maybe the correct way, but then I get confused with all the different branches CI has in Github. Which one should I fork?
Then requesting pulls and all these other terms. I'm perfectly happy reading documentation but I feel like I'm just going all over the place here and not really comprehending a lot of it (which I'm usually pretty good at).
Anyway, if I could get some basic tips on how I should go about this I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Sure as I post that I found this guide: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/Kenji_s/20110828/1314495301
I'm going through it to see if it helps me out. I'd still appreciate any tips/tricks/general info I can get.
