Currently Rocket has a good document on the installation and setup for the git 
client.  You mention GitHub.  What we’re referring to is the client to access a 
git installation.  Last I checked, the git client on z/OS only allows 
interaction with an external git instance and doesn’t provide the ability to 
serve as a git instance on z/OS.  The zOSOpenTools project has git as well.  
Here is link to their page https://github.com/ZOSOpenTools/gitport
