In git bash, navigate to where you want the repository on your local machine using cd (change directory). Use git clone like:

git clone https://github.com/username/reponame.git

(you can get the url on the repository page if you click on the green clone button top right of the page)

Then open the processing ide. File>Open navigate to where you to where you cloned the project and select a .pde file. Processing should be smart enough to open all .pde files in the project.

Dan Shiffman has a good video series on how to use git and github which covers using things like clone and branch.
