Download Code Repositories

Download Methods

The platform supports the following methods to clone and download code repositories:

Method	Use Case
HTTPS Git Clone	General-purpose download for all users
SSH Git Clone	Password-free download after SSH key configuration
csghub-cli	Suitable for repositories containing large files

Download via HTTPS

git clone https://<platform-host>/<namespace>/<repo-name>

For private repositories, use an access token:

git clone https://<username>:<access-token>@<platform-host>/<namespace>/<repo-name>

Download via SSH

After adding your SSH public key in User Settings → SSH Keys:

git clone ssh://git@<platform-host>/<namespace>/<repo-name>

Download via csghub-cli

Install csghub-cli:

pip install csghub-sdk

Download a code repository:

csghub-cli download <namespace>/<repo-name> --repo_type code

Download via Python SDK

from pycsghub.snapshot_download import snapshot_download

repo_path = snapshot_download(
    repo_id="<namespace>/<repo-name>",
    repo_type="code",
    endpoint="https://<platform-host>",
    token="<access-token>"  # Required for private repositories
)
print(f"Repository downloaded to: {repo_path}")

Note

Access tokens can be generated in User Settings → Access Tokens.
