How to download resources in GitHub (steps)

With the widespread application of open source software in the industry, more and more programmers and ordinary users are beginning to use GitHub to share and download software, documents and other files. However, for some users who are not familiar with GitHub, how to download what they need from GitHub is still a thorny problem. This article will introduce how to download resources on GitHub to help you better use GitHub.

1. Preparation tools

Before downloading things on GitHub, we need to install the following tools:

1. Git. Git is a distributed version control system that helps us download projects from GitHub.
2. GitHub Desktop. GitHub Desktop is a desktop client for Git that allows you to manage projects on GitHub without the command line.

2. Download the resources on GitHub

1. Search for the resources you need

Search for the resources you need on GitHub. For example, if you want to download an open source project, you can search the project name or keywords on GitHub, and then select the corresponding warehouse to enter.

2. Clone repository

In the repository page, you can see a green button that says "Clone or download". Click this button and you'll see two options: Use HTTPS or Use SSH.

If you want to download the repository via HTTPS, you need to copy the HTTPS link. If you want to download the repository via SSH, you need to add an SSH key. Here, we first introduce how to download the warehouse through HTTPS.

After copying the HTTPS link, enter the following command in the command line:

git clone https://github.com/用户名/仓库名称.git

Here you need to replace "user name" and "warehouse name" with the specific information of the warehouse you want to download.

3. Download code

Git will clone the code in the warehouse to the local, and you can edit and use it locally. If you are using GitHub Desktop, it will automatically clone the code in the repository to your local computer.

3. Summary

Through the above three steps, we can quickly download the resources we need on GitHub. Although it may take some time for some novices to learn some basic operations of Git and the use of GitHub Desktop, I believe that by reading this article, you will already be able to master the basic knowledge of GitHub downloads. In future use, we should also continue to learn and explore and continuously improve our skill levels.
