While some devs use github, the main Blender code repo is hosted on
our own servers.

To build blender see:
  http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Building_Blender

If you run into troubles, you can ask for help in our IRC chat room
#blendercoders
   http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Community:Chat

(You can post here too, but typically IRC is better for troubleshooting).
