Download folder content in Github repository

Sometimes we need to grab content from the github repository. Clone the repository will consume longer time than just downloading the folder content. This is so easy using svn checkout command.

Step 01: Select the desired repository and the folder and copy the URL from the browser window.

https://github.com/wso2-attic/carbon-identity/tree/master/components/agents/mobile-proxy-idp/Android

Step 02: replace the “tree/master” with “trunk”

https://github.com/wso2-attic/carbon-identity/trunk/components/agents/mobile-proxy-idp/Android

Step 03: Use svn checkout code to get into your machine

svn checkout https://github.com/wso2-attic/carbon-identity/trunk/components/agents/mobile-proxy-idp/Android

If you haven't installed svn on your machine use

apt-get install subversion
