I followed this link to install git Install git on ubntu and I got stuck at this part:

Now, you can make the package and install it by typing these two commands:

make prefix=/usr/local all sudo make prefix=/usr/local install

I keep getting this error: make: *** No rule to make target `all’. Stop.

What’s the cause of this issue?!

Generally an error like that would suggest that you are not in the correct directory. Is there a file named Makefile in your current directory?

Though as @gp+digitalocean suggests, simply running sudo apt-get install git will install git for you without having to build it from source.
