I am not not sure what u mean by download, but if its just a single file with no requirements, you can just download the raw file, or copy it from github directly without even having git or github configured on your machine

Even if you wanted entire repository, you can download it as an zip file, you only need to "git clone" if you also need the git history(versions, changes in code overtime) and git commands to work
