Janet - re the link you posted - I feel they are wrong to say git is a variant of get in British slang. That's just a pronunciation issue with certain regional accents, so you would still write "get over here" not "git over here".
However, this "A silly, incompetent, stupid, annoying, or childish person." is definitely right. Definitely not a word for polite society!! Most people who use the word would prefix it with the word stupid - "you stupid git".
