Sorry, but no.
Chin-ups will temporarily stretch your spin a bit, so maybe for a few minutes after the session, you might be a few mm taller.
You get a little taller during your sleep as your muscles and spine relax. But, within about 30 minutes or less after you get up, gravity does it's work and you'll return to your normal height.
Astronauts are taller while in orbit as there is no gravity pulling on the spine.
No, chin ups won't make you grow taller. It'll give you muscles. Your height depends on what genes you have from your parents.
Try cycling. It's definite.
