How to download a whole sub-directory in a private Repository?

Question

Body

Let's say I have a private repository in which I and my collaborator only have access.

My collaborator needs to periodically download only a sub-folder on that repository.
He would like to use https://download-directory.github.io/ but being the repository Private, this service doesn't find the Repository.

Is there any way to accomplish this? Or I have just to give up?

Note: I'm also not able to download the single sub-folder.

EDIT: we both are under Windows

hello @tormyvancool, you can download a file/folder from github

Simply use: svn export <repo>/trunk/<folder>

Example: svn export https://github.com/lodash/lodash/trunk/docs

Note: You may first list the contents of the folder in terminal using svn ls <repo>/trunk/folder

"svn"? We both are under windows+. I forgot to mention.

I tired t download TortoiseSVN: impossible ... it goes on "server unreachable" after long endeavours.
Then I tried SlickSVN.

• It's not into the PATH (I have to set it up and I don't get the reasons for this)
• When I try to download the subfolder: it assumes that the login on GitHub is the same of Windows machine: wrong ... then it asks login and password of GItHub several times till it goes on mx trial reached. Hence I uninstalled it.
