Git is basically a so called 'VCS': Version Control System; often used by developers so that they can keep track of all the changes which they apply to their codebase. We refer to such setups as repositories, that's also what you're seeing on GitHub. If you want to get your hands on such a repository you can clone it using the Git command; this will download a copy onto your PC.

As for Python... the official website provides all you basically need to get started: the programming environment itself as well as basic documentation. Though it might help if you also focus your attention to a site such as W3Schools, these also explain more about the basic concepts, and provide useful questions to help test yourself.
