Download without folder inside archive

[jan-gerard]

Hi,
Is there a way to create a zip archive that does not contain a subfolder, but only the contents of that folder directly at the root level of the archive? And is there a way to give the archive a specific name?
I have a github repository with a directory https://github.com/jan-gerard/EV3_GyroBlox/zipball/master/unzipped, and I would like to create a link that downloads the contents of that folder as a zip file without a sub-folder, with a specific name (EV3_GyroBlox.ev3s) and extension, which is not zip.

1. "Is there a way to create a zip archive that does not contain a subfolder, but only the contents of that folder directly at the root level of the archive?", no, this feature is not added in the application. But it is possible to do that.
2. "Is there a way to give the archive a specific name?", this functionality is not available for now, but may be added in future.

Hi, It would be even nicer when it could work vice versa: that you can upload a zip-file with a specific extension (mindstormsprogram.ev3s) that is unzipped to a specified folder, into its contents, and downloaded again as a single zipped file (with extension .ev3s) with the contents of this folder. Best regards, Jan-Gerard

Any chance of this getting added? I have a repository set up in such a way that many of the folders are useful to another program when simply zipped up, so I can push changes and provide a simple link to snag the most up-to-date version.

This website was an absolute lifesaver until I noticed it put the folder inside the zip instead of just the contents directly. Now I'm really struggling to find an adequate replacement -- I'd be very grateful if you could implement or change this. Thanks for your work!

Features implemented-

• Download without root folder, contents are added directly into archive.
• Give the archive a specific name

A link looks like this in general-
https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit/#/home?url=<link>

Now, you can pass two new variables-
https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit/#/home?url=<link>&fileName=<name>&rootDirectory=<true or false or name>

Download with zip file name- 'octocat', and no root folder-
https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit/#/home?url=https://github.com/MinhasKamal/DownGit/tree/master/res/images&fileName=octocat&rootDirectory=false

You can also give name to the root folder, just pass value except- 'true' or 'false'.

@jan-gerard @tryashtar thank you for your suggestion. (will go live soon)
