How to Download Files from Github: 4 Easy Methods

- Quickly Learn FOUR different ways to download files from GitHub in just a few minutes! Simple and to the point.
Are you new to coding or want to find cool software on the web? GitHub is a website where developers can share their code with the world, and if you've never used it before, there's one huge problem: how do you download the stuff?
In this video, we'll show you four different ways to download files from Github, and the benefits and downsides of each approach.
The first method is called the "raw file" method, which is great if you just found a single file and you want a copy of it. The second is the "release download" option, which allows you to download a whole codebase and in some cases a working version of the compiled program for a specific version number of the project.
The next two methods require Git, which is a tool that developers use to track changes and collaborate on software projects.
The third method is called "cloning," which allows you to pull down the entire repo to your computer, while the fourth method is "forking," which lets you create your own copy of someone else's project.
These last two methods are what you should do if you are a developer or learning to write code, as they will be an essential skill in your day-to-day life. Check out the video to learn more!

Amazing video thanks for the efforts!
Nice one. Thank you
Thanks dude. I had no idea how this first worked even though i am pretty smart on the computer side 😅
one of the best guide video i have ever seen. i havent passed preparation class yet, however i understand all the video
Thank you!
The first video I watched was the one about how to contribute to open source. I was super confused. I definitely needed this
Awesome. Glad it helped.

That was a really helpful video.
Thanks!
Awesome video bro
thanks, second method works really well
You're welcome!
Thank you very much.
You're God sent!🫡Thank you for all the help. Super articulate! Any tips to what you do to sound this way would be helpful too!
You’re welcome! Making these videos and presenting with good audio and delivery takes practice and hardware. A decent mic and a teleprompter go a long way. For these longer vids I script them out from end to end and then just try not to look like I’m staring at a screen the whole time
thank you
Legendary dude
thx for the help :)
You’re welcome
thx bro
AMAZING
Thanks!
Welcome!
TY
helpful
Amazingly clear instruction.
Is there another video to explain a case where the project asks you to "Note: These are seperate requirements that are not installed with the pip command! You will need to download and install these manually!"?
Yeah that’s going to be just more of the same. You will need to find each of those projects and install them based on their instructions.
thanks man
Happy to help
nice
Remember when you just downloaded one file called “exe” and it was the whole program? Ya I miss that.
thank you so much now i can play minecraft hypixel skyblock again!
Glad I could help!
all I want is to use IPC tool...so I go to the github, select the "the link" to download latest build...and I get this file that I ahve no idea what to do with....I jsut want to install the program.
I looked at the repo. The link downloads the actual program. The instructions on how to use it are in the readme. It’s a terminal command line tool so you probably need a Linux OS or windows WSL to run it.
Whenever I tried to download a .exe file I get the message " Download Failed Authorization required " how do I fix this
So I’m not a windows user, but this sounds like windows trying to “protect you”
is there a way to download full commit with one click?
A commit is not really something you download. Are you looking to check out a commit using git?
what about just grabing a folder that has files. How is that achived?
You can’t really just download a specific folder. You would need to use git to clone the repo then just get the files you need
i feel like this is wayyy more complicated than it needs to be
I've downloaded it. How do I run it?
Every project is different. You should read the readme file in the root folder of the project for instructions.

i still dont know how to dawnload a software from git hub
Maybe watch the video a second time?
How can i turn it on?
You mean run a project you pulled? They are all different. You should start by reading the readme.me file. It usually has instructions.
I love you
Thanks
You lost me at 4:00 in. There is no little 'copy' button. It tells me that I have no SSH key assigned to my account but I could try HTTPS. So, I went from SSH and clicked on HTTPS and clicked on not a 'copy' button but a 'copy to clip board' button, which I never understood what and where this clip board is. That's as far as I got. Fail
The clipboard is just your computers clipboard. Like when you copy and paste.
Customer Support has helped me get SDR++ installed, but now that I have it on my iMac there's no sound.This is one of my hardest installs ever. Thanks for your response.@@LearnFastMakeThings
what if there is not SSH option
You need to be signed in to have the SSH option. You also need a SSH key set up.
I didn't get anything. Where is the damn link to download the entire project!!
if there are no packages release, use the last method mentioned in the video. use the git command line tool. this is really what github was intended for.
Thx... makes me feel stupid, lol.
No need to feel stupid. It’s just a learning process.
I play mobile and a VR😢
Ok?
Who asked
@@M4Media22 who asked in 2024? Thats crazy
Hell naw😂 ill find another way to download steam rom manager
I'm just trying to download the latest release of something, I've watched half this video and skimmed the rest, and it's still not clear to me. As someone who has made a beginner's tutorial before, that many users still had difficulty with, it's fascinating how difficult it is to present information to a total beginner when we're extremely familiar with it.
i just following your videos but i couldn't download the single yml file 🥲RAW option i have tried i click on the RAW & ⬇ download there is no move Do u have any idea????
After you click on raw does it open in the browser as the raw file? If so, go to file->save as and save the raw file
