Is there any way to fork a non github repo to git hub, since I have a slow connection I can't afford it to clone to my system and push to github

thanks,

If you have shell on existing host you can push from it to Github

You could clone it to a remote server using SSH and then push it to github from there, but that's the only option I know of.

Alternatively, look to see if someone else has already uploaded it if it's open source, then you can fork it on github and just push the much smaller set of updates from your local machine. If you know someone else with a fast connection, you could ask them to do this for you, or else upload it and then change ownership of the repo to you.

I'm not aware of any way to do this, unless the repository is SVN, in which case you can use the Import from Subversion feature.
