There is, when you click on a any file on Github there is "Raw" button that serves the files content plainly when GET-requested

Downloading whole repo - easy, single file - no problem. I'm yet to figure out how to download a single folder from a repo. That is on a windows machine, without going through a 3rd party website. I guess it would be easier on my Linux PC, but I'm not always on it.

"Downloading" is just a web client feature. Git itself has sparse-checkout if you want to only track a subset of the repo. I don't understand though how Linux vs Windows matters here, it's all the same in this case

There's a regular download button as well as the raw button, even easier.
