There 2 problems here:

1. the No such host is known. failed to open stream: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. error tells, that there is temporary network error while attempting to DNS resolve github.com hostname
2. the Failed to clone https://github.com/hamcrest/hamcrest-php.git, git was not found tells, that you don't have Git installed locally and that's why git clone command that Composer tried to run also failed

Yeah I updated composer via cmd and then it worked.
