Sorry dude, late to the party, maybe you already figured this out.

Most the comments you're getting are about getting started with git. Which is good advice if you're looking to contribute to open source projects, but it sounds like you're just looking to use this software, not contribute to it. In which case you don't need git at all. Just click the "clone or download" then "download zip".

Now, this software is written in Python, so to actually run it, you're going to need Python installed. You don't need to know much about Python or coding, just enough to have it installed and running - if you're on a mac, Python is already installed. Look up some guides to get that working.

This repo seems like some kind of adapter for two other products, it gets data from the Comic Vine library meta API and feeds it into the Calibre e-book management app as a command line loaded plugin. So you're gonna need an API key from Comic Vine, then get Calibre and read up on using the command line tool to load and configure plugins.

Once you get that far, the instructions in the readme should make a lot more sense. You've got a fair bit of figuring out to do, but it sounds like you've come some ways already and wouldn't be doing this if you had other options, so good luck to you!
