can someone explain? (I am not familiar with github and the whole thing is cryptic to me)

It's equivalent to knocking on someone's door and asking them if you can graffiti their house wall, egg their car, and toilet paper their front yard tree. All while having the graffiti, egg, and toilet paper in your hands in front of their face.

The comments are even better, and so to extend this analogy:

After you ask them, they then criticize your choice of spraypaint ("Krylon? Really? Not using Rustoleum, even though this is clearly for outside application?"), testing that your egg is actually of proper dimension and size, and then sighing in annoyance upon finding out that your toilet paper isn't quilted.

...and then saying "no."

He uses php!1!
