🔦 GitHub Dark - Browse GitHub in nighttime mode 🌚

Download a single folder of a repository without cloning or downloading the whole repository.

Eye Strain Reduction
Dark mode can be easier on the eyes, especially in low-light environments, reducing eye strain and fatigue for users who spend long hours coding.
Battery Efficiency
For devices with OLED screens, dark mode can save battery life as these screens use less power displaying dark pixels.
Aesthetic Preference
Many developers prefer the look of dark themes, finding them more visually appealing and comfortable for prolonged use.
Focus and Contrast
Dark mode often offers better contrast between text and background, which can help in focusing on the content and reducing distractions.

Legibility Issues
Some users may find text harder to read on dark backgrounds, especially if the contrast is not well-calibrated.
Compatibility
Certain UI elements or third-party plugins may not support dark themes well, leading to a suboptimal user experience.
Cognitive Strain
Switching between dark and light contexts frequently in different applications or workspaces can cause cognitive strain or discomfort.
Limited Color Accuracy
Dark themes can sometimes affect the perception of colors, which might be problematic for design and visual work requiring precise color differentiation.

Selective Download
GitHub Folder Downloader allows users to download specific folders from a GitHub repository, rather than cloning the entire repository. This is particularly beneficial for projects with large datasets or numerous files where only a portion is needed.
Ease of Use
The tool is designed to be user-friendly, making it accessible for individuals who may not be comfortable using command-line tools to clone repositories and manually manage content.
Time and Bandwidth Efficient
By enabling the download of only required folders, this tool saves users time and bandwidth that would otherwise be spent on downloading unnecessary files.
No Need for Full Repository Access
Users do not need to clone the entire repository, which can be particularly useful for large projects. This minimizes local storage requirements and avoids over-fetching data.

Limited Functionality
While useful for basic downloads, the tool may lack advanced features available in version control systems, such as merging, conflict resolution, and branch management.
Dependency on GitHub APIs
The tool relies on GitHub APIs for its operations. Any changes or restrictions to the API or its rate limits might affect the usability or functionality of the tool.
Potential for Bugs and Issues
As with any software, there might be bugs or issues that could affect certain use cases. Continuously maintaining the software to handle edge cases and updates is essential.
Not a Replacement for Git
This tool is not a substitute for git and does not provide the full functionality of interacting with a Git repository, such as commit history access or branch manipulation.
