[Halld-offline] GlueX software on GitHub, trial port

[Hovanes Egiyan]

Hi Mark,

If you add people (github users) as collaborators, they
should be able to push their changes to your github repository.
If not, other github users can fork your project to their github account,
then push local changes (from git clone) to their forked github repository,
and then make pull requests into the branches of your repository. But
you would have to approve them (after reviewing).

Hovanes.
