Relax
Take your time with this. We aren't jumping in at the deep end. It's the simple stuff first, building up in stages as you use GIT and get to creating mods. Mostly focusing on Sim Settlements plots.
Some of this is simple strategy - when to take a copy of your mod, how to add it to your mod repository, how to get a particular version back when you need it. Making copies on a USB drive or external hard drive. Lots of copies keep stuff safe and you never know when your computer is going to get zapped by the gremlins of hell.
Installing Git
Here is the download page for Git on Windows:
https://git-scm.com/download/win
Grab the Windows 64-bit version.
It's also worth grabbing the free e-book, though if you're new don't bother reading it yet - that's for more hardcore users. Give it a few months before you dig into it though (you'll intimidate yourself if you jump into that).
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2
Easy Options
Choose the base install using the bash shell, don’t integrate it into the command window, and use Unix checkin and Windows checkout. Ask in the modders channel or do a google search if you’re feeling stuck.
Once it's installed...
