If I want to install git (only a example) on ubuntu Xenial, I just do apt-get install git. But another option could be apt install git .
After read this post I understand the differences between apt and apt-get.
But my question is if I use one or another does they do the same task? I mean, are they using the same repository to install the same git?

As far as I know, apt, aptitude and apt-get/cache use the same repository configurations. Therefore, there is no difference in installations from any of them.
The article you pointed to basically gives you this same answer.
But also, take a look here:

The main point to take note of is that these tools are front-ends, so you can use them interchangeably. The difference being their functionality and ease of use.
