hi i want to download a directory from github account how can i do this? for example i want to download manifest folder from test acount:

github.com/test/projectx/manifest

I don't want to use github API as much as possible but I tested Octokit It's like taking the folder as a byte, but I couldn't turn it into a folder on my system

 var archiveBytes = await client.Repository.Content.GetArchive("octokit", "octokit.net", ArchiveFormat.Zipball);
