GitHub, however, still handles downloading files differently than other places. Most public repositories can be downloaded for free, without even a user account. This is because public repositories are considered to be codebases that are open source. That said, unless the owner of the codebase checks a box otherwise, their codebase can be downloaded onto your computer, packed into a. zip file. Alternatively, you can easily clone a file or repository using a few simple commands on GitHub. A fork is simply your own copy of a repository. Forking a repository comes with a number of benefits. It gives you your own copy on your GitHub account that allows you to freely experiment with changes without affecting the original project.
For example, you could find a bug in my Tip Calculator or want to add your own features. So, how do you fork a public repository? You can head to www. com and do this right now. If the original project owner likes the change — and it works properly — it can be merged into the original codebase as production code. As you can see, downloading files and whole projects from GitHub is actually quite easy. In just a couple of minutes, you can have an entire project downloaded onto your computer, or even forked to your own GitHub account. Happy coding!
