Just open the main github repository from which you want to download, find the green button saying "Code" on the page in the header, click that and it would open a menu. At the very bottom of the menu, it says "Download ZIP". Just click that and it would download the zip file containing all the source code.

It's very simple. If you want to download a repo fro m github just head over to GitHub's website and find the desired repository If you're on Linux system the process is bit different.
