   @eladroz Was chatting with @davbree who suggested a fallback to cloning the entire repo when a dev doesn't have the necessary Git version. You mentioned an alternative approach about downloading a zip rather than cloning. Can you share more about your suggested approach here?

   I'm suggesting to use the zip file that GitHub provides for any branch in a repo, e.g.
   https://github.com/stackbit-themes/stackbit-examples/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
   This is much faster to download anyway, and doesn't come with any git history.
