How to download .zip from GitHub for a particular commit sha?

You can put the sha that you want in the download url:

https://github.com/{username}/{projectname}/archive/{sha}.zip

As a general rule, if you have a url that works, you can replace “master” with the specific sha you want.

On unix:

wget https://github.com/{username}/{projectname}/archive/{sha}.zip

Keep in mind that if this is a private repo then wget will not work unless you pass an OAuth token as well.

Here’s more info on that:
