degit makes copies of git repositories. When you run degit some-user/some-repo, it will find the latest commit on https://github.com/some-user/some-repo and download the associated tar file to ~/.degit/some-user/some-repo/commithash.tar.gz if it doesn't already exist locally. (This is much quicker than using git clone, because you're not downloading the entire git history.)
You can specify a specific branch, tag or commit hash...
degit some-user/some-repo#some-feature # branch
degit some-user/some-repo#v1.0.0 # tag
degit some-user/some-repo#1234abcd # commit hash...or create a new folder for the project...
degit some-user/some-repo my-new-project...and that's it. As simple as possible, and no simpler.
npm install -g degit- Windows
