Why:

Closes: #39217

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

Change apt install git to pkg install git.

Termux recommends using pkg instead of apt directly, pkg is a wrapper that performs useful tasks:

  • Provides command shortcuts.
  • Automatically runs "apt update" before installing a package.
  • Performs some client side repository load-balancing by automatically switching mirrors.

Check off the following:

  • A subject matter expert (SME) has reviewed the technical accuracy of the content in this PR. In most cases, the author can be the SME. Open source contributions may require an SME review from GitHub staff.
  • The changes in this PR meet the docs fundamentals that are required for all content.
  • All CI checks are passing and the changes look good in the review environment.
