Why did Microsoft remove the "Download ZIP" link from GitHub repository pages

Git is a relatively large program with numerous dependencies.^1 Source code published on github.com can be downloaded without using git. One way to do this is to download a .zip file of the source code using wget or similar from codeload.github.com. The github.com website used to include a download link for a .zip file on repository pages. If I am not mistaken, Microsoft has recently removed this link. Perhaps the reason for this has been discussed somewhere and I missed it. Meanwhile, the following solves the problem for me. cat > 1.sh << eof # usage: echo https://github.com/user/program|1.sh IFS=/; read x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6; case ${x1} in https:);;*)exit;esac; test ${#x2} -eq 0||exit; case ${x3} in github.com);;*)exit;esac; test ${#x4} -gt 0||exit; test ${#x5} -gt 0||exit; exec FTPUSERAGENT=git/2.9.5 ftp -4vvo ${x4}-${x5}.zip https://codeload.github.com/${x4}/${x5}/zip/master eof 1.
