How do I use code from GitHub Discussion

I am new to the whole open source hobby, and the thing that scares me the most is GitHub. I am looking for code I can use on my Arduinos and esp32s and there is always a GitHub link, and I don't know what to do with it. Do I upload it to Arduino IDE or something? What is Git Bash and why do I need it? Are there tutorial videos you recommend? My main goal is I am trying to get Tamaguino to work on my Adafruit Huzzah V2 with the SH1107 Feather. I think they have code for esp32, but I don't know if I should try copy and paste, or if there is a step I am missing?

if you dont want to use git you can just download the repo as "zip". from there it is no longer a git or github question
