Yeah I love the GitHub icon font "Octicons" too. Unfortunately as far as I know they're assumed to not freely available to the public - see here: https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/191#issuecomment-6180040

That said - I just did some source file snooping and grabbed the TTF and other files here if you wanna try this on fontello? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7951258/fonts/octicons-from-github.com_20140302.zip

PS: If you do find a way to get a hold of them legitamitely please post an update though!
