Sorry, but now you completely lost me.  You want git, you are
not root, you cannot install git system wide, so you run git
installed in your $HOME/bin somewhere instead.  I think I am
following you correctly up to this point.

But if that is the case, I do not see where your objections to
the template directory installed somewhere under $HOME/etc comes
from, which is what the default Makefile does, or at least
attempts to.
