This does not seem to be android related; however, the simplest way to get source of a github project without knowing how to use git is to visit their page on github, and use the "downloads" button near the top right of the page.
Example of a page: https://github.com/joyent/node - notice the downloads button on the right next to the description.
If you have git installed you can clone the url provided on that page. Ex: git clone https://github.com/joyent/node.git

It has to do with an Android Source Code
If you just want the latest version, click the “Downloads” link on the repository page to receive a zip file. If you want to browse the history locally or make commits, install git and clone it:
- Read How to install git? The Mac link on Git’s home page appears to link to an easy installer.
- On the main page for a repository on github, there is a URL of the form
https://github.com/username/repository.git. In the terminal, use the commandgit clone https://github.com/…to clone it.

Not sure about Macs but on Linux its, git clone (git addy). which will create a clone of the project. If you're using eclipse, check out egit. Also read the docs on github to understand what git is and how to use it.
