title: How to use GitHub for Mac with local Git repo
body: <p>I'm trying to use a local Git repository (i.e. not hosted on GitHub at all), and I'm having troubles with GitHub for Mac.</p>
  
  <p>It shows my outgoing changes, but then I appear to have to Push to the server, and there appears to be no way to perform a "Sync" without publishing to GitHub (which we don't want to do).</p>
  
  <p>I haven't found any documentation regarding this, or users experiencing similar issues.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
