Artur,

You've missed the point of my post completely, but thanks anyway.

Best, Clive

Hi,

one can also simply download the whole project from here:
https://github.com/atecon/covid_19_forecast/archive/master.zip

This involves all files you see here:
https://github.com/atecon/covid_19_forecast

Alternatively one need to get familiar with the versioning tool "git" --
the net is full of introductions on how to use git.
Once git is installed, you can download the project via the "git clone"
command. A related example can be found here:
http://gretl.sourceforge.net/gretl-git-basics.html

Best,
Artur
