It could be “legal”, “truly” or “really good” depending on the context. In casual conversations it usually means “really good.”

legit is shorthand for the word "legitimate". it basically means authentic. it can be used to describe a person or an object, but it used more when being very casual.
for instance:
"Ask the jeweler if this diamond is legit or fake."
"That man is not legit; he lies a lot."
