title: How to download git directory in tar format
body: <p>Using command "curl -LkSs <a href="https://git@github.com:gcce/info.git" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://git@github.com:gcce/info.git</a> -o master.tar.gz"
  I am expecting to download the info.git directory from github in the master.tar.gz.
  However, when I do
  "tar -xzvf master.tar.gz" I get error</p>
  
  <p>"gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
  tar: Child returned status 1
  tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now"</p>
  
  <p>I have also tried tar -zvf, the error remains there.
  Appreciate your response.</p>
