Description

GitZip is a browser extension that simplifies the process of downloading specific files or folders from a GitHub repository without having to download the entire project. Here's why you might find GitZip useful:

- **Selective Download:** You can choose to download only the files or folders you need from a GitHub repository, saving you time and bandwidth.

**How to Use GitZip:**

1. **Browse GitHub Repository:** Visit the GitHub repository page containing the files or folders you want to download.

2. **Download Options:**
   - **Choose Items:** 
     - Double-click on items you want to download or check the checkboxes in front of items.
     - Click the download button located at the bottom-right of the page.
   - **Context Menu:**
     - Right-click on an item.
     - Click "GitZip Download" > "Whole Repository" or "Current Folder" to download everything in the repository or the current folder.
     - Hover over an item and click "GitZip Download" > "Selected Folder/File" to download a specific folder or file.
     - After checking checkboxes as in step 2.1.1, click "GitZip Download" > "Checked Items."

3. **Download Progress:** A progress dashboard will appear, and you'll wait for your browser to trigger the download.

4. **ZIP File:** Once the download is complete, you'll receive a ZIP file containing the selected items.

**Options:**
- "How to select" allows you to configure item selecting behavior.
- "Theme" lets you choose between dark and light themes.

**Getting a Token:**
- If you encounter a "Rate Limit" warning message on the progress dashboard, you can get a GitHub API access token to upgrade your rate limit. GitZip provides a convenient way to obtain this token.

**About GA Usage:**
- GitZip uses Google Analytics (GA) for default data collection, but it adheres to the Manifest V3 specification, which limits the collection of other information.

**Supporting GitZip:**
- If you find GitZip valuable, you can support its development by donating through [Buy Me a Coffee](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/gitzip).

**Revisions:**
GitZip has undergone several revisions to enhance its functionality and compatibility with GitHub's UI changes. Each revision brings improvements and bug fixes.

GitZip is a useful tool for GitHub users who want to streamline the process of downloading specific files or folders, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
