gitload

Download files, folders, or entire repos from GitHub URLs using the gitload CLI.

When to Use

Use gitload when:

  • Downloading a specific folder from a repo (not the whole repo)
  • Fetching a single file from GitHub
  • Downloading repo contents without git history
  • Creating a ZIP archive of GitHub content
  • Accessing private repos with authentication

Do NOT use gitload when:

  • Full git history is needed (use git clone instead)
  • The repo is already cloned locally
  • Working with non-GitHub repositories
