Change Preferences->Configure Paths->KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR.

You should find sym-lib-table file in the directory loaded from github. It can be copied to %appdata%\kicad\ if you want to replace your global table with that new one. Or you have to add the entries manually if there’s something you want to keep in the current table.

See Library management in KiCad version 5.

Where is %appdata%
I am running windows.

Type %appdata% in the address line of the file explorer. It’s probably the same as C:\Users\whatever_is_your_username\AppData\Roaming.
