⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gitzip – Effortless GitHub Repository Downloads

Gitzip is a fantastic Firefox extension for developers and GitHub users who frequently need to download specific folders or files from large repositories. Instead of cloning the entire repo, Gitzip lets you download only the parts you need, saving time and bandwidth.

Pros:
✅ Selective downloads: Allows you to download individual folders or files from GitHub repos.
✅ Time-saving convenience: No need to clone massive repositories just to grab a small section.
✅ User-friendly interface: Simple right-click functionality makes it easy to use.
✅ Lightweight and efficient: Works quickly without bogging down your browser.
✅ Perfect for developers: Ideal for grabbing specific code snippets or project assets.

Cons:
❌ GitHub-only: Limited to GitHub—doesn’t support other Git platforms like GitLab or Bitbucket.
❌ Occasional glitches: Very large folders may sometimes fail to zip properly.

💡 Overall, Gitzip is a must-have Firefox extension for developers and coders. It streamlines the GitHub download process, making it easier and faster to get exactly what you need. Highly recommended!

Very useful, thanks for this👍🏻

This is a great add-on, but I met an issue when I tried to click the icon in FireFox. The icon is in gray, and I cannot click it, thus I can't open the API page to authenticate and download my private files. Hope to get some help.

新版本的github在项目根目录无法触发勾选,需要进入文件夹后,当左边栏有目录树时才显示检查框

Awesome addon. Unfortunately recently buggy, since double-clicking of folders doesn't work anymore, so they can't be downloaded. It still works with single files, however.

Thanks a lot for such a wonderful add-on! But I still had trouble finding the GitZip icon in Firefox ( version 92.0.1, maybe for this reason). Neither in address bar nor in other places. In the end I accessed the token through the web version of GitZip, namely kinolien.github.io/gitzip/ : D. Thank you again!

great，只是2年没有更新，已经催了作者，不知道什么时候跟新，我自己弄了个修复版，需要的话大家可以暂用下。addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4435593/279a3a19c02b4d4ca4ee-1.0.2.xpi

Thanks, works perfect.

Not working for firefox, and actually only partly working for chrome

works great for me, i use it several times a month. others complaining about it probably don't have a valid token or have some issue with their browser prefs, CSP, etc. one suggestion i'd offer, though, is to add an options page with a 'dark mode' toggle. the black checkmark can be difficult to see over a dark background, e.g. if the user has dark reader or something similar.

it's simple enough for users to make the checkmark white with a userContent.css file, but it can't hurt to add an options page and it's just a tiny bit of code and manifest changes. actually, you could just skip that and dynamically get the background color to flip a toggle for the checkmark color:

let checkmark = "white",
bgc = window.getComputedStyle(document.body).backgroundColor.match(/\d+/g);
bgc.some(i => i > 100) ? checkmark = "black" : checkmark = "white";

that's as simple as i could think of, maybe there's a better way. anyway thanks for the great extension.

Not working anymore on Firefox. Tried restart, reload and all the token stuff but still didn't work

Don't know why but after I clicked the button it said:

Collect checked items...
Collect blob urls...
Readme.md url fetched.
Collect blob contents...
Not Found

Then nothing was downloaded

Works perfectly
