GitHub Gist Downloader
Download all files from a public GitHub Gist as a single ZIP archive. Simply paste the Gist URL to get started.
A GitHub Gist is a simple way to share code snippets, notes, and other small pieces of data. Think of it as a lightweight pastebin with version control. Developers often use Gists to share a single file, a configuration, a small script, or to quickly prototype an idea without creating a full repository. Because they are versioned, you can see the history of changes, and they can be public or secret. This downloader tool is perfect for grabbing all the files from a multi-file Gist at once.
This tool simplifies downloading code snippets and files from GitHub Gists. The process is handled entirely in your browser:
- It first parses the Gist ID from the URL you provide.
- It then uses the public GitHub API to fetch metadata about the Gist, including a list of all its files.
- For each file, it fetches the raw content.
- Finally, it packages all the downloaded files into a single `.zip` archive and initiates a download in your browser.
Your privacy is protected. This tool communicates directly with the GitHub API from your browser. No data about the Gists you download is ever sent to our servers. The entire process is client-side.
