Git-Grabber

Easily download a specific subdirectory from a GitHub repository

GitHub doesn’t natively allow downloading individual folders from a repository, which can be inconvenient when you only need a few files from a large project.

This tool simplifies the process by allowing you to download all files within a specific directory in a single click, after providing your GitHub token.

🚀 How It Works

1. Paste the GitHub directory URL
   Visit the tool and pass the GitHub directory link as a url parameter, like:
   download-directory.github.io?url=https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/tree/dev/build

2. Optional: Specify a filename
   Customize the downloaded file name using the filename parameter:
   download-directory.github.io?url=https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/tree/dev/build&filename=three-js-build
   This saves the file as three-js-build.zip.

3. Automatic Download
   Once the link is provided, the download starts automatically.
