You do not have to posses a GitHub account. When doing development, you'll work on your local repository. When you want those changes to appear on your Heroku app, you push those changes to your Heroku repository, which is secured and only available to your account.
A GitHub (or any other Git host) account can come in handy, as it gives you a centralized place to store your repository, is backed up regularly, and allows you to easily review your code or collaborate with others. I hope this helps!
