How to unzip code on github

GitHub is an open source code hosting platform with a massive code repository, allowing developers to quickly find and use other people's code, speeding up the development efficiency and quality of their own code. However, the code warehouse may default to a compressed file format after downloading, and you need to decompress it at this time. This article will introduce how to unzip code on GitHub.

1. Download the code on GitHub

First, you need to download the code you need from GitHub.

Step1: Open GitHub, search for the warehouse you need, and enter the warehouse.

Step2: Click the “Clone or download” button on the upper right side of the warehouse.

Step3: Select the "Download ZIP" option to start downloading the code.

2. Decompress the code

There are many ways to decompress the code. Two common methods are introduced below.

Method 1: Decompress directly

Extract the downloaded ZIP file into a folder. If you have a Windows version of the ZIP decompression tool available, you can right-click and select "Extract to current file" folder"; if you have a Mac version of the ZIP decompression tool available, you can double-click the ZIP file to decompress it.

Method 2: Use Git Bash to decompress

Git Bash is a command line terminal that runs Git commands from the Windows platform, and can quickly implement some Unix-like commands on Windows.

Step1: Download and install Git Bash.

Step2: Right-click anywhere and select "Git Bash Here" to open the Git Bash terminal.

Step3: In the Git Bash terminal, enter the following command:

unzip filename.zip

Among them, filename.zip is the name of the ZIP file you downloaded.

3. Summary

Through the above two methods, we can decompress the code on GitHub. If you downloaded other compressed file formats, such as tar.gz, etc., you can right-click on the compressed file and select "Extract to current folder", or use the decompression tool corresponding to the compressed file to decompress. The unzipped code file is ready for use.
