Add the ability to download an entire directory recursively

Github provides this functionality. You can download the entire repo as a zip. See the screenshot - https://www.dropbox.com/s/dr5ll39yxbist9l/Screenshot%202017-06-17%2000.49.07.png?dl=0

I know but I'm not talking about that. I mean recursively downloading subdirectories which is a non-trivial task with git

Is it possible to support folder downloading with GitZip or DownGit?

I think he meant whether it was possible to download one of the directories in the project?

Also, it shows the size of directories better than just one file.

I ended up writing a script to do that myself https://github.com/HR/github-clone

Hope it’s helpful for anyone else looking for that as well
