sure, but git doesn't care where you clone from:
cd /dist/plan9front && git/push -u git+ssh://github.com/$your/$repo
will work just fine with the repo as we ship it (if not,
let me know -- that's a bug). You can also add it to the
git config:
echo '[remote "mine"]
url=git+ssh://your-repo
' >> /dist/plan9front/.git/config
I'm not sure what a github mirror is supposed to add here.
git is a distributed source control system; you can host
anywhere, pull from anywhere, and push to anywhere.

mkfs(8).
