| Re: [PLUG] wget options to retrieve file from github |
Carl,In this case you need to pull from 'plain' as the default is a hex dump with some dynamically generated HTML to make the format viewable in a browser.
You can pull from this URL (modified to pull the raw/plain source)- Russ

What do you mean by "without turning it into HTML"? wget and curl are
pretty content (and content-type) agnostic. They don't care what
you're downloading. Can you give me an example?
