Developer’s Download Helper<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Developer’s Download Helper is an extension for the Chrome web browser that lets developers download files and folders<\/strong> from GitHub and GitLab<\/strong> directly from the Context<\/em> menu. Shortly after the extension launched, users noted that its function was essentially redundant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the Context menu<\/em> and the Developer’s Download Helper initially required all files to be saved with a \u201c.txt\u201d extension<\/strong>, rendering the Download<\/em> option ineffective because users had to correct each extension manually. The developers of this Chrome extension<\/strong> have since addressed this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n
