i dont get it

Don't use this gist. It has errors, and the author's response was not helpful. Use this one.
Find out what the latest version of git is at https://git-scm.com/, say 2.40.0. Replace 2.31.1 in the first line with 2.40.0.
Start a terminal application. (On a mac, Lauchpad -> Terminal)
Copy, paste, and enter all these commands in the terminal, one after another. ( The make command will take many minutes.)
"sudo make install" will put the compiled program in directory /usr/local/bin.
You can then run the git command from the terminal.
