NikiforovAll.CopyPaster

Downloads code and saves it to local file system. Copy-paste-driven development made easy.

Same as wget https://URL/ --output-document=FILE_NAME, but you don't have to pass a link to raw version. It rewrites "https://github.com" to "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/" automatically for you.
