GitHub, Inc. is a provider of Internet hosting for software development and version control using Git. It offers the distributed version control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git, plus its own features (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub).

Simply put, github is a collection of repositories for various projects. We can download the repository on github by cloning the project or downloading the zip. However, these two features can only be used on the front page of the github repository, whereas when we enter one of the folders in the repository, the download and clone features will disappear. So, in this article, I will share how to download a github repository from within a folder.

Pages in a folder in the repository

So, to be able to download certain folders on Github, we can use third parties, here’s a list of websites that provide the Github folder download feature:

  1. downgit https://downgit.github.io/#/home

2. Download Directory https://download-directory.github.io/

3. DownGit http://kinolien.github.io/gitzip/

The three websites have the same features but also have their own advantages, so please use them based on your needs.
So many articles this time, hopefully useful, bye :)
