I\'d like to export from github remote repository, not cloning it. Similar to svn export, I do not want to get .git folder with it. I can work around it by cloning and remov
For a normal export:
$ git archive master | tar -x -C /path/to/destination
For a zip archive:
$ git archive --format zip --output /path/to/destination/file.zip master
Of course for this to work, you'll need to clone it locally first, there's no clean way around that.
