A pedantic comment. I think it should be saying "5000 GitHub stars" instead of "5000 Git stars". Similarly, "GitHub Link" instead of "Git Link". Git ≠ GitHub.
Makes sense for the stars, but I don't think it matters so much for the link. People are generally happy to accept a link to a web based repository browser, github or otherwise, as a git/repo/whatever link. Especially when the clone URL is usually only 2 clicks away.
