Give Github some Windows XP flare 🔥

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.
