My subject says it all. There is no Ubuntu 13.1. There never has been and there never will be. Fact check your story and make the obvious corrections.

You are right off course, there was a 0 missing at the end of the title as ist Ubuntu 13.10 and not 13.1. I took the time today to test the guide on the current Ubuntu 14.04 and it still works fine, so I updated it right for 14.04.

Thank you for noticing me about the typo.

You had made the same typo in a few places.

Anyways, Ubuntu 14.04 comes with git 1.9.1 (that should not change for the life of 14.04 thought it will get updates and patches). From 5/29/14 until, at least, the time of me posting this, the version of git in the ppa:git-core/ppa repo is 2.0.0 and is available for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and all versions from 12.04 LTS through 14.10. 14.10 is unreleased but the package is still there for developers.

The PPA repo page is available at https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ppa

I think you are incorrect in making the assertion that git is the client for GitHub. GitHub is just a web interface/management/issue tracking solution for git. git was around first.
