Ok, so i want a command line tool to download a github repo without creating a local git repo.

One idea is a download tool to download github zips from a url like

<https://github.com/lukeholder/fuel-website/zipball/master>

im on windows 7 and dont want to have to install curl or wget. only native tool?

it would preferable to not download a zip but just somehow clone the repo and not have the local git repo ever created.

ideas without using git? In effect it would be a git clone and del .git directory
