Fastest way to download a GitHub project

I need to download the source code of the project Spring data graph example into my box. It has public read-only access. Is there is an extremely fast way of downloading this code?

I have no idea of working on GitHub/committing code and most tutorials out there on the web seems to assume that "I would want to setup a project in GitHub" and inundate me with 15-20 step processes. To me, if a source repository is available for the public, it should take less than 10 seconds to have that code in my filesystem.

Tutorials that provide me with 15-20 step processes:

I need something very very very simple. Just pull the source code, and I am more interested in seeing the source code and not learn GitHub.

Are there any fast pointers/tutorials? (I have a GitHub account.)

I agree with the current answers, I just wanna add little more information, Here's a good functionality

if you want to require just zip file but the owner has not prepared a zip file,

To simply download a repository as a zip file: add the extra path /zipball/master/ to the end of the repository URL, This will give you a full ZIP file

For example, here is your repository

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-graph-examples

Add zipball/master/ in your repository link

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-graph-examples/zipball/master/

Paste the URL into your browser and it will give you a zip file to download
