Git Folder Downloader Download Button

Git Folder Downloader Download Button is a lightweight browser extension that enhances GitHub’s UI by adding a smart “Download” button directly inside GitHub repository, folder, and file menus.

It integrates seamlessly with the Git Folder Downloader API to allow downloading repositories, folders, or files with custom names, while matching GitHub’s native design and theme.
