Clone from Github

I am trying to git the I2C library from github, but it asks for user name/password. I entered my Adafruit forum name to no avail. Please help.

Clone is for developers working on the code. To just get a copy to use. click on the "zip" button.

Thanks, I was just following Kevin Townsend's tutorial in the 16 channel I2C board writeup. He might want to change it.

OK, I am officially frustrated. There is no zip button. I was following the exact instructions that appear in multiple tutorials regarding downloading the code. And yes, I am a developer.

Has something been changed on the website? I am looking at screen shots from tutorials where the exact commandline I typed allows direct access to the repository.

It should be just to the right of the "clone" button:


If you want to use the "Clone" button, you need to create a Github account.

[tldr]

the instructions in the tutorial are for the command line. adafruit support is referring to accessing via the web.
