Getting the sources from git

head over to https://projects.kde.org/projects . There you'll see a long list with all the projects hosted on KDE git.
find the project you are interested in, and click the link, e.g. to Attica
on the Attica project page, go to the repository page. There you will find the clone command.
Execute this clone command and you'll get a copy of the sources: $ git clone git://anongit.kde.org/attica

Pushing your changes

If you followed the steps above, you now have a clone of the git repository.

In order to be able to commit your changes, you need

tell git to push to git.kde.org, instead of anongit.kde.org
to setup a ssh key for authentication
tell ssh to use that key for git.kde.org
