<h1><span class="header-section-number">6</span> Downloading files</h1>
<p>Although the files may be browsable on the web interface, you might want to interact with them on your desktop, using one of your favorite programs.</p>
<p>It is possible to download files individually from the web interface.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Note that this “individual download” feature differs from what Git-people call “cloning of the repository”. Git-clone involves downloading of the whole repository, whereas this individual download concerns only with the current single file.</p>
</blockquote>
<div id="download-button" class="section level2">
<h2><span class="header-section-number">6.1</span> Download button</h2>
<p>When you open a single file, you will see buttons on the top-right of the file:</p>
<div class="figure">
<img src="images/file-actions.png" alt="Location of buttons" />
<p class="caption">Location of buttons</p>
</div>
<p>These buttons represent the actions that you can execute on this specific file, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Obtaining the link to this specific version of the file (<strong>Permalink</strong>)</li>
<li>Browsing different versions of this file (<strong>History</strong>)</li>
<li>Downloading the file (<strong>Download</strong>)</li>
<li>Editing the file (<strong>the pencil symbol</strong>; it may not be available in the case of read-only repositories, or Gin does not have a way to edit the file e.g. PDF)</li>
<li>Deleting the file from the repository (<strong>the trash-can simbol</strong>; may not be available)</li>
</ul>
<p>For downloading the file, click on the “download” button:</p>
<div class="figure">
<img src="images/download-button.png" alt="Download button" />
<p class="caption">Download button</p>
</div>
<p>Then your browser will start downloading the file.</p>
