A web app that lets users download a single subdirectory from a GitHub repository as a zip file, filling a gap in GitHub's native functionality. Users paste a GitHub directory URL (or use a `url` query parameter) and provide a token to fetch all files in that folder in one click.

Use cases

• download a single folder from a github repo
• get just one directory from a large repository without cloning
• download subdirectory as zip from github
• fetch only the files i need from a repo
• download github folder without downloading whole repo

When to choose

• you need only a few files or one folder from a large GitHub repository
• you want a quick, no-install browser-based tool
• you want automatic downloads via a URL with a `url` parameter

When to avoid

• you need to download an entire repository (use git clone or GitHub's zip download)
• you need offline or CLI-based automation
• you're working with private repos and don't want to provide a token to a third-party site
