Importing code from GitHub

Projects General Guidance

Sorry to be asking such a dumb question but I cannot find anything on how to import some code from GitHub.

Thanks

There is a button on one of the main project pages to download a zip file of the entire project.

OK, sorry, should have been a bit more specific.

I am running the Arduino online editor. It gives me a screen which says Editor, New Sketch, a default file name - sketch_feb8a. and the beginnings of the code.

/*

*/

void setup() {

}

void loop() {

}

There is a pull down next to readme.adoc which offers 'Import file into sketch'.

This is the bit of code I would like to import -

Thanks for your patience with a complete novice to this.

Have you tried File>Open... as you would with just about any other program?

You need to download the .ino file and save it on your PC. If it is called vixen-lights-6-channel-pwm.ino then you need to create a folder called vixen-lights-6-channel-pwm and move the .ino file into it. Then you can open the file with the Arduino IDE.
