As you can see, downloading files and whole projects from GitHub is actually quite easy.

The -L flag instructs wget to retrieve only the file that we have specified. We could alternatively use cURL to retrieve the file we want to download. You can download an individual file from a GitHub repository from the web interface, by using a URL, or from the command line.

You can only retrieve public files by URL or from the command line. This is because private files are protected by an access token that you can only retrieve by viewing a file from the web interface.
