DownGit ↑

A typical download URL will look like this- https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit/#/home?url=<link>&fileName=<name>&rootDirectory=<true or false or name>

Now, if you want to download this directory- https://github.com/MinhasKamal/DownGit/tree/master/res/images with this file name- DownGit-Images.zip and this root directory name- ImagesOfDownGit, then the URL will be- https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit/#/home?url=https://github.com/MinhasKamal/DownGit/tree/master/res/images&fileName=DownGit-Images&rootDirectory=ImagesOfDownGit

In default, value of fileName and rootDirectory is set to the name of the downloading file or directory. If you do not want to add the directory itself in the zip, then set rootDirectory=false. Like: this link- https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit/#/home?url=https://github.com/MinhasKamal/DownGit/tree/master/res/images&rootDirectory=false, will download a file named images.zip; however the root directory- "images", will not be included in the zip.

If you want to download file- https://github.com/MinhasKamal/DownGit/blob/master/res/images/downgit.png with name- DownGitIcon.zip, then the link will be- https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit/#/home?url=https://github.com/MinhasKamal/DownGit/blob/master/res/images/downgit.png&fileName=DownGitIcon
