I'm trying to figure out the most secure method to push my GitHub repository to an EC2 instance. I want to avoid leaving my Security Group open to all IPs (0.0.0.0). Is it advisable to use S3 with CodeDeploy for this task?

Using CodeDeploy is definitely a smart move here. It streamlines the deployment process and keeps things secure!
If you’re just starting out, have you checked out self-hosted GitHub runners? They can pull your repo's latest version, and you might use a tool like robocopy to transfer it to where it’s needed. Just keep in mind, this might not work well if you need to deploy to multiple servers.
Are you planning to do builds on your EC2, or just want to get your code there? If it's the latter, you can set up CodeBuild to be triggered by GitHub pushes, which will make your repo available on the CodeBuild instance. It’s quite handy! Check out the AWS documentation for more details on connecting GitHub and CodeBuild.
