## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: web-scraping, developer-tools, file-system, compression
- domain: developer-tools, version-control, web-development, files
- platform: browser
- tags: github, download-link, zip, github-api, single-directory-download, web-server, javascript
