How to download code uploaded by others in Gitee

Gitee is a very easy-to-use code hosting platform. It is similar to GitHub and can help developers better manage their code libraries. However, when using the Gitee platform, sometimes we need to download the code uploaded by others. What should we do at this time?

Below, I will introduce you to several simple methods to download the code uploaded by others in Gitee.

Method 1: Directly download the zip package

If you just need to download a project or a warehouse, the easiest way is to download the zip package on the project homepage Bag. Just go to the homepage of the project you want to download, find the "Code Download" button, and click it to download the zip package of the project:

1. Open the Gitee official website and log in to your account.
2. Enter the name of the item you want to download or the name of the author in the search bar at the top, and then click the search button.
3. Find the project you need to download and enter the project homepage.
4. Select "Download ZIP" in "Code Download" on the right and wait for the download to complete.

This method is very suitable for situations where you only need to download a certain project, but if you need to download multiple projects, this method is not very suitable.

Method 2: Use the Git command line tool to download

If you need to download multiple warehouses or need to frequently update a warehouse, you can use the Git command line Tool download. Git is a distributed version control system that helps developers better manage code and can be used across platforms.

1. Install the Git command line tool. In Windows systems, you can directly download the installation package from the Git official website to install Git. In Linux systems, you can use the following command to install:

sudo apt-get install git-core

2. Open a terminal or command line tool and enter the folder where you need to download the code.
3. On the homepage of the project where you need to download the code, find the "Clone" button and copy the link address.
4. Enter the following command in the command line tool:

git clone <链接地址>

5. Wait until the code download is completed.

This method requires a certain command line tool foundation, but it can easily download the warehouse in batches, and is also very suitable for situations where frequent code updates are required.

Method 3: Use the Gitee Desktop client to download

If you are not used to using command line tools, you can also use the Gitee Desktop client to download. Gitee Desktop is an official desktop client produced by Gitee, which can help us manage the code base on Gitee more conveniently.

1. Download and install the Gitee Desktop client on the Gitee official website.
2. Use a Gitee account to log in to the Gitee Desktop client.
3. Click "Clone Library" in the client and enter the address of the warehouse to be cloned.
4. Adjust the branch or tag that needs to be downloaded, and select the folder location that needs to be stored.
5. Click "Clone" and wait for the download to complete.

This method requires the installation of the Gitee Desktop client, but the operation is relatively simple and suitable for users without command line knowledge.

Summary

The above are three ways to download other people’s code on Gitee. If we only need to download a certain project, then just download the zip package directly. If we need to download in batches or need to update the code frequently, it will be more convenient to use the Git command line tool or the Gitee Desktop client to download. No matter which method you choose, you need to obtain permission from the project author and comply with the corresponding open source license.
