Those are the library files.

Safari by default will unzip files for you. There are options to fix that behavior. https://discussions.apple.com/message/17593494#17593494

If those are the codes why aren't they in a library?

Safari has unzipped them for you. If you look in the repository, those are the files. https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-GFX-Library

Have you Quit out of Arduino (all windows!) and started it up again? It only scans the Library folder when it starts up...

The cpp and h files ARE the library!
If Safari has removed the folder, create one and put those files inside it. Then install as directed by the guide linked above.
