If you use micro-controllers, play with Arduino, or do other things that involve open-source software, you will most certainly have come across GitHub.
GitHub has become the place for people to share source code for all sorts of open-source applications ranging from simple single-file Arduino sketches to huge cloud applications consisting of thousands of files, but also other things like electronics design files or simple text documents.

This page also has a procedure for downloading sub-folders of a repository instead of the whole thing. This may be useful when repositories are very large and you don’t need all of them.

At Elektor, we publish our code on #GitHub and tell people to download it from there. We then often get the question “How do I download something from GitHub?”

In this video, you will discover several ways of downloading something from GitHub.
