Github web ui allows downloading and zipping a whole repository but it does not allow doing that inside subfolders.
This plugin extends the github webpage UI so that it is possible to download and zip a subfolder.
It works by looking for all the links in that subfolder, fetching raw files from that links and compressing them into a single zip file.
Because all this can be done in the context of the logged in user, this can work seamlessly without needing to set up any authorization keys.
Known limitations:
- binary files are currently incorrectly zipped, because text() is read from fetch response
- only files from the top files are added to the zip (the files from subfolders are not)
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
