  • repo

  • This is exactly what I need: To download certain files from a folder on a GitHub repo (like https://github.com/user/repo/folder/neededFile) That's it!

  • node-fetch

    A light-weight module that brings the Fetch API to Node.js

  • Then it's a bit easier. You can use something like node-fetch or so to do an HTTP request to the resource that you want to download. I think the user will get a Windows Security prompt like this but that should be fine.
