Hey, no Core needed for this — you have a few free options:

\*\*1. Download as ZIP (easiest)\*\*

Open your Repl → click the three-dot menu (⋮) at the top of the file tree → “Download as zip”. You get the whole project as a single archive.

\*\*2. Download single files\*\*

Click the ⋮ next to any file in the file tree → “Download”. Useful if you only need one or two files.

\*\*3. Push to GitHub (best for ongoing work)\*\*

In the Shell, run:

```

git init

git add .

git commit -m “initial commit”

git branch -M main

git remote add origin [https://github.com/YOUR\_USER/YOUR\_REPO.git](https://github.com/YOUR_USER/YOUR_REPO.git)

git push -u origin main

```

Create the empty repo on GitHub first. This keeps your history and lets you clone the project to any machine later. Add a `.gitignore` before committing if you have secrets or `node_modules`.

If the ZIP option isn’t showing up in the menu for you, try refreshing the page or opening the Repl in desktop view — sometimes the mobile UI hides it.

Good luck!
