According to Issue #1950 [download whole folder/directory from repository][1] on Octokit, this isn't possible given the limitations of the github API.  The best you can do is download the entire repo and parse through the files yourself:

```cs
var archiveBytes = await client.Repository.Content.GetArchive("octokit", "octokit.net", ArchiveFormat.Zipball);
```

I'm trying to figure out (in C#) how to download a directory with content (files and folders) in my GitHub repository through the API. Some of the articles mention Octokit.Net so i downloaded this and wrote the following lines:

    var github = new GitHubClient(new ProductHeaderValue("PROJECT"), new InMemoryCredentialStore(new Credentials("xxxtokenxxx")));
        
    var repositories =  github.Repository.GetAllForCurrent().Result;
    
    var repository = repositories.Single(x => x.Name == "MyRepo");

Well i then get the repository and it works but i'm not sure where to go from here?

How can i download Folder1 (look below) containing all files and Folder2 with files in a structure to my local hard disk?

https://github.com/PROJECT/MyRepo/tree/2016-1/Folder1/Folder2

Can anyone help me in the right direction? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
