## What it is
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
