-- Fetch the file listing
local request = http.get("https://api.github.com/repos/SquidDev-CC/Howl/git/trees/master?recursive=1")

handle.write(request.readAll()
handle.close()
request.close()

In that case, a purely hypothetical one. You'll probably want ElvishJerricco's API, which uses json.decode instead.What json API do you use in the example?

So the recursive file listing also includes directories, so you'll need to check that file.type == "blob" before downloading each file.But I got the error 9: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

I'd presume a HTTP request is failing. Maybe try adding some print statements to determine which file is failing, print the error message from the HTTP response, etc… C'mon, I've seen your programs - I know you're capable of basic debugging skills.Same error, now with line 10

Both should work fine. You can use branches, tags or specific commit hashes with git, and they'll all "just work".With modifyed gitget, I would be able to download the rom folder from the offical Repo. But what's with older Versions. In the Repo of alekso56 they are sorted with Tags, but gitget only suports branches and not tags.
