Can someone help me describe this code ....please href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Handlee" rel="stylesheet">

Answer 1

It means that you link fonts named 'Handlee' from GoogleFonts and may use then on your page instead of standard fonts as Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman etc. Also, some code is missing. it should be
<link href="...

Answer 2

So if i dont need googlefonts, how will the code look?

Answer 3

In this case you may just delete this <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://..."> tag as you do not need additional fonts.

Also this tag in head we use to link your css files, favicons and so on... Most common case - to link your styles like
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./css/styles.css(any path to your css file)">
