I don't know if you accept feature requests but in case you do then I would like to request the ability to download individual files and directories just like in Gitlab. Tar and Tar.gz at least would be great!

In case you don't accept feature request then please close this issue.

Have a great day and thanks for your time!

Here is a free user study of this behavior in GitHub. Linus tries to use Linux...

It seem really be an issue for average users.

I suggest to add a "Download" button left to "Raw". Also to directory listings left to "History".
