Hello, where can i get the latest jekyll-twitter-plugin for Jekyll 4.2.2?
This plugin it very old.
In want to see my last 5 Twitter Tweets on my static website.
Or should i better search as solution with Github_Action?

The plugin is only 2 years old.
Try it out on Jekyll 3 and 4 and see if still works. Otherwise make an issue on the repo asking for a fix or upgrade.
If you want to replicate the logic, you could write a Ruby plugin and put it in _plugins directory and it would allow you to do the same thing. But you have to use Ruby coding and you have to use GitHub Actions to get the plugin to run.

Have you considered a very simple alternative where you use the Twitter Platform mentioned in the plugin README.
Plain HTML with no Ruby or plugin or GH Actions!
e.g. i put in my URL for my profile and it gave me my timeline
https://publish.twitter.com/?query=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fmichaelcurrin&widget=Timeline
So all you gotta do is paste the result on your site.
<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/MichaelCurrin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets by MichaelCurrin</a>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
