All github repositories can be accessed directly, unauthenticated, anonymously via http:

git clone http://github.com/user/reponame

I know this way. However, first I don't know username and repository name. – Rect Feb 05 '15 at 08:10

@Rect: You're not making sense; if you don't know the owner of the repository nor its name, you don't know what you want to clone. I think you should really really bring an example of what you want to do in your question. – Marcus Müller Feb 05 '15 at 10:58

Amm just use a VPN to make your browser anonymous and download away I guess: http://hackerbot.net/tutorials/356-use-internet-anonymously

Its really not that difficult. Acutally even a free proxy might do it.

You don't need a VPN to clone a git repo from Git Hub anonymously, you can just clone via HTTP – Alan Evangelista Jul 07 '21 at 18:01
