How can I run those commands on my Terminal?

How to Run thesse two commands on my Terminal or what exactly to type in ?

Don't do it! At least make sure you have a backup first. These forums are full of people who installed Homebrew and then can't run any basic command line operations. And since they didn't know anything about the command line to being with, hence their reason for installing Homebrew, they can't fix it.

All I can tell them to do is erase their hard drive and restore from backup. Since you are asking first, I recommend you make sure to have a Time Machine backup before you start. That way, you'll have something to restore from when it all stops working.

Probably related to this: Terminal - Permission Denied - Apple Community

OP is learning about zsh and Unix shell programming with an (unspecified) development project involving encryption and (presumably) data privacy and with a third-party app Bitwarden. And apps involving privacy and data security tend to be complex and subtle, and mistakes can be catastrophic.

How to use this? . This kind of things looks wery mysterious .

Looks like a wad of json, and probably used as a token for accessing some server. Probably also related to Bitwarden based on the earlier thread, and—again—you will want to acquire assistance from Bitwarden support. This unless you get very lucky around here and somebody has that app installed and can provide some assistance with it.

But also it states to create first a UTF-8 encoded plain text file - how to do this? I did it in text editor -but I do not know if that is the right way.

If you're not sure if it'll work, you're just going to have to try it.

Teaching how to program the shell, and how to use json and related tools, and whatever networking or such this particular sequence will involve, is a substantial effort, and probably also well beyond what can be reasonably accomplished around here. Particularly given that third-party app at the core of most of this.

Based on an online JSON Lint validator, here is the syntactically correct JSON:

{
    "folders": [
        {
            "id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
            "name": "Folder Name"
        }
    ],
    "items": [
        {
            "id": "yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy",
            "organizationId": null,
            "folderId": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
            "type": 1,
            "reprompt": 0,
            "name": "My Gmail Login",
            "notes": "This is my gmail login for import.",
            "favorite": false,
            "fields": [
                {
                    "name": "custom-field-1",
                    "value": "custom-field-value",
                    "type": 0
                }
            ],
            "login": {
                "uris": [
                    {
                        "match": null,
                        "uri": "https://mail.google.com"
                    }
                ],
                "username": "myaccount@gmail.com",
                "password": "myaccountpassword",
                "totp": "otpauth://totp/my-secret-key"
            },
            "collectionIds": null
        }
    ]
}

and it is consumed well by json_pp in the Terminal:

json_pp -f json -t dumper < ./bw.json

or

python3 -m json.tool ./bw.json

Maybe circle back around and explain why you want to run Homebrew in the first place. Maybe there is a better way to accomplish what you are trying to do.

Maybe try all of this inside a virtual machine. Then you try anything you want, including Homebrew. If it get scrambled, just blow it away and create a new one.
