How to download from github

Hello,

The only download link I found is here

https://github.com/vanilla/addons

Why there is no download inside each addon? Can that be added?

Or should I get a program to download from github?

Thanks

  • Github offers a zip download on the right hand side of the page:

    Alternatively, you can clone the repository via your favorite git client:

    git clone https://github.com/vanilla/addons

  • Yes thanks, I will use that.

    I also find it annoying that I have to download/clone a complete repo, when all I want to have is one directory (plugin) only. I did some research a few weeks ago because of that and found that:

    svn checkout https://github.com/foobar/Test/trunk/foo

  • Yes, but with what OS do you do that? Linux?

    That is the beauty of distributed versioning systems. I prefer the single repo per plugin method purely for being able to clone a repo into the /plugins folder, but you could just symlink an addon into there (which is what I do currently).

    Yeah, there is overhead, but I feel like the benefits outweigh this.

    There are git clients available for every major OS. If you are new to git and on windows, I highly suggest SourceTree by Atlassian.
