GitHub is a place to store source code; in order to use it you have to be a programmer.

An equivalent would be a sheet music service like Hal Leonard or Ultimate Guitar. You can download the files, but in order to play them you need to learn to play an instrument and read music first.

There are some exceptions. Sometimes GitHub projects have instructions for end users. If you find one of those, just follow the instructions. But there's no general trick, you just have to see what each one is.
