I only had a quick look - English lang site
https://store.codesys.com/en/codesys-git.html
EULA (licence)
https://store.codesys.com/media/n98_media_assets/files/2101000015-F/4/CODESYS_EULA_Engineering_en.pdf

"Free: Software that isindicated as "Free" in theCODESYSStore isnot
subject to an
automatic license check by the manufacturerand can be used free of charge."

I suspect its the "seamlessly integrates" part of "CODESYS Git
seamlessly integrates the use of the distributed version control system
Git™ into the CODESYS development environment" that is the hick-up - if
you aren't into their dev env then .... Hence the hope that you really
want their dev env and it's licence fee.

All that is more of an observation than an answer.
