I don't know what you're trying exactly to do, but if you want to upgrade to hardy, you're simply doing some weird things...

git is used by developers to get the sources of programs developed using that revision control system. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) for details.

To update to hardy, open your sources.list :

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and replace every "gutsy" with a "hardy"

save and close. Then run in a terminal,

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

But being new to ubuntu, I am not sure you really want to do that. Hardy may be instable for you, and once installed, you are stuck with it. 2 days ago, an upgrade was pushed to the repos, and made the pc unbootable of those who installed the package (nothing irreversible). Just to tell you that it might not be painless.
