You can also clone it directly without forking
git clone https://github.com/mit-cml/appinventor-sources.git

I don't know if this way is ethical or not

You should run this command:

In the cloned repository root directory, in your case it should be C:/Users/Harish/appinventor-sources, you can use the cd command to enter it, for example : cd appinventor-sources.

@MohamedTamer can you please explain what does cd do?

It's a command which changes the working directory to the path provided as an argument, for example:

This command would change the working directory to the appinventor-sources directory.
You can learn more about it here:

The command cd is for Change Directory. Your current directory is C:/Users/Harish/
running the command cd appinventor-sources will change your current directory to C:/Users/Harish/appinventor-sources

This sounds great.
First you try to create advance level extensions without basic knowledge of Java and now you want to create/setup App Inventor with nullable knowledge of GitHub and AI system.

Delete the directory appinventor-sources first
Then follow the guide.
However as @vknow360 told, I think the process would be much simpler if you would learn using git / ant build files.
