Hi there. What's different between "I get it"and "I got it"("get it" and "got it")?
Do they have any difference?

I think as you state the question, you are interested in the common idiom "I get it" -- meaning "I understand".
It can be in reference to learning something:
"He studied the problem for 20 minutes, then suddenly shouted "Oh, I get it!'"
Or sometimes referring to whether or not you see the humor in a joke:
"I heard that joke on TV, but I just don't get it. Why is it funny?"
"Look at this cartoon in the newspaper. Do you get it?" ...
... "Yes, I get it, but I don't think it's funny."
-- or --
... "Yes, I got it, but I don't think it's funny."
Of course, "get" and "got" are also used in the sense of "retrieving" or "obtaining" something:
"Can you get some beer on your way home?" ... "Yeah, I can get it."
"Whenever my girlfriend catches cold, 3 days later I get it."
"Do you have the wedding ring??!!" ... "Don't worry! I got it ! I got it !"

It's the same verb 'get'. So there is no difference.
'Get it' (or 'get something') is used to mean 'to receive the meaning of a joke; to understand something':
'John told a joke, but I didn’t get it.'
'Bob laughed very hard, but Mary didn’t get it.'
'I don’t get you.'
'I don’t get it—why would she do a thing like that?'
The same expression can be used to mean 'to receive punishment' (= to catch it):
'John got it for arriving late at school.'
'If your dead finds out, you'll really get it(or 'you'll really get a scolding').
