How to Code/Download from GitHub in Under 1 Minute!

GitHub has become the place for people to share source code for all sorts of open-source applications ranging from simple single-file Arduino sketches to huge cloud applications consisting of thousands of files, but also other things like electronics design files or simple text documents.

This page also has a procedure for downloading sub-folders of a repository instead of the whole thing. This may be useful when repositories are very large and you don't need all of them.

Useful tip (thanks to @J_respect): on Android devices, click on the DESKTOP SITE to see the Download / Code button.

When I go into main in the repository I am looking at I am presented with a "Go to file " button then a "Code" button. In the Code pull down menu . There is a Download.zip option, an option to Open with GitHub Desktop and an option to Clone. The Download Zip option allows you to download and unpack all the project files.
