I'm new to coding and have been doing a few different tutorials here and there. Right now I'm doing JavaScript Full Course for Beginners by Amigoscode.

I got the git close from his repository to unpack,

My zsh brings back an error that says "number expected".

I tried looking for a solution on Stack Overflow.
One post suggested closing the terminal window, but that did not work.

Has anyone encountered this issue?

Note that git gh would not work indeed.
gh is a command on its own, the GitHub official CLI

To clone a GitHub repository with it, you would use gh clone (assuming gh was installed first):

gh repo clone https://github.com/cli/cli

No git in front of it.

If you clone https://github.com/amigoscode/javascript, you need then to cd to the javascript folder created by the clone operation, before trying npm.
Type first which npm to check that executable is part of your $PATH.

Note that git: (master) npm is not a command.

The OP ade confirms/explains in the comments:

I figured out what I was doing incorrectly and you are correct.
I was using the wrong command in the terminal.

Once I used the correct command (git clone) to download the repo, I was able to use the command 'npm intall' to install the correct npm version to install the dependencies and run 'npm run devserver' to connect to the localhost:3000 where the front end of tutorial was housed.
