Github gems are all available via rubygems so long as the package
maintainer enables the option.  See http://gems.github.com/

Do note the warning there, though.  Permanently adding github as a gem
source royally b0rked my rubygems installation.  Stick with the manual
source specification for now.  E.g.

  sudo gem install mojombo-grit -s http://gems.github.com
