Is the git command like an AUR for Ubuntu? If not what does it do and how do i use it?
It is not an AUR.
AUR is a repository for Arch Linux that lets you install additional programs.
Git is “only” a distributed version control system (DVCS) and is used to manage the source code.
It was initially designed and developed in 2005 for Linux kernel development but came to be one of the most used DVCS in the Free Software community.
You can read more about Git on Wikipedia.
