download-directory.github.io

Download just a sub directory from a GitHub repo

GitHub doesn’t let you download a single folder from a repo, which might be necessary when you just need a few files from a large repository.

This tool will handle the download of all the files in a directory, in a single click, after you entered your token.

The download starts automatically when you visit pass the link to the GitHub directory as url parameter, like:

download-directory.github.io?url=https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/tree/dev/build

You can also specify download filename by adding filename parameter, like:

download-directory.github.io?url=https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/tree/dev/build&filename=three-js-build to save the file as three-js-build.zip.

This is an alternative to the existing GitZip and DownGit but without the cruft.
