DownGit is a web tool that creates direct download links for any public GitHub directory or file, packaging them as a zip archive. It is hosted as a GitHub Pages site and works via URL parameters pointing at GitHub resources.

Use cases

  • download a single folder from a github repo without cloning the whole repository
  • create a shareable download link for a github directory
  • download a single file from github as a zip
  • get a subdirectory of a repo without git or svn
  • customize zip file name and root directory when downloading github folders

When to choose

  • you need to share or fetch just one folder or file from a public GitHub repo
  • you want a no-install, browser-based solution for partial repo downloads

When to avoid

  • you need to download from private repositories
  • you need full repository cloning with git history
  • you need bulk or automated downloads at scale, where the GitHub API rate limits may block you
