Why use this GitHub repo downloader?

Sometimes you only need one folder from a huge repository — not the whole thing. Instead of cloning the entire project, just paste the URL here to browse the tree and download the specific folder or file you're after. It works with any public repo, instantly.

Getting started

Copy a link like github.com/owner/repo/tree/branch/path/to/folder from your browser, paste it above, and click Explore. From there, navigate the file tree and hit the download button on any folder or file. For a full walkthrough, click Help in the footer.

How to use GitHub Repository Downloader

Need to grab a specific folder or file from a GitHub repo without cloning the whole thing? Here's how:

Go to the GitHub repository or folder you need and copy its URL from your browser's address bar.
Paste the URL into the search box above. You can use full repo links, /tree/ folder paths or /blob/ file paths.
Click Explore — the file tree will load in the sidebar, just like an IDE.
Navigate freely: click folders to open them, files to preview their contents, and use the breadcrumb trail to go back up.
Hit the ⬇ Download button on any folder to save it as a ZIP, or on a file to download it directly.
From the toolbar, you can also download whichever directory you're currently browsing — or the entire repo from the root.
Want to share a link instead? Click 🔗 Copy link on any row to copy the URL to your clipboard.

Tip: everything downloads straight from GitHub's servers to your device — nothing passes through us. If you hit a rate limit on large repos, add a personal access token in Settings.
