If you have not supplied complete sentences, then it is impossible to judge. If the complete sentences are 'Get started', 'Get ready', and 'Get it right', then they are all imperatives.

thank you for your answer
could I understand that if "get" comes with adjective , it turns as command , not literary command but as "to be ..." for example if I see my single friend ( not married) and I say him " Get married" I mean hey my friend marry " . is it right my opinion or what?
thank you

I don't know what you mean by 'literary command', but 'Get married' is an imperative since only, as are most (all?) sentences with a simple present verb and no subject.

Yes, but if you say to him "When are you going to get married?" it's not an imperative.
