how do i download the pack/mcdata folder?

[jexxadox]

im on linux. ive tried download it twice and it dumps some random "repository" in the folder. it has folders but no pack/mcdata either compressed or not. what am i doing wrong? im sorry im new to linux and im not on windows so i can't find the .jar folder in my own minecraft install to just copy it there. is there no way to download from the folder i want? i see a way to "upload" files there.

There is no easy button to download a zip of a folder, apart from downloading the whole branch. You can clone the repository or use github.dev to view the data easier, for example: https://github.dev/misode/mcmeta/tree/diff
