You just need to create an account on github and follow their 
instructions on how create a new repo. When you create your account 
github gives some easy to follow steps to get you up and running.

For creating a mirror you basically need to create another remote 
branch, or use an existing one, then push to it. The following url gives 
some examples on how to create a mirror repo on github, but should work 
if you want to use repo.or.cz as the mirror:
