Here is a nice write up of what you are exactly looking for.

Edit: I just tested with the following steps and it works like charm!!

   1. Click on repositories on the left.
   2. Pull your copy of the repo from the remote , using git-shell
   3. Drag and drop the Folder on to Git hub for windows dashboard.
   4. now double click on the repository dropped on to githubW. It should be listed as a local repository.
   5. it says login required to your non-github remote!

For some wierd reason, GutHub didn't make it straightforward to use non-GitHub Remotes. (As you said, they say that they support non-github remotes though!!)
