# Downloading, copying, or getting a link to a raw file in SourceCraft

<!-- source: en/_includes/sourcecraft/raw-content-intro.md -->
In a SourceCraft [repository](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#repos), raw files are available via [direct links](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/operations/raw-content.md#raw). 

The SourceCraft UI also supports [copying](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/operations/raw-content.md#copy) and [downloading](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/operations/raw-content.md#download) raw files without having to [clone](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/operations/repo-clone.md) the repository.

## Getting a link to the original raw file from a repository {#raw}

_Raw files_ are repository source files without HTML rendering or the SourceCraft interface, available at the following links:
* For public repositories: `https://raw.sourcecraft.tech/raw/<organization_slug>/<repository_slug>/<commit_hash>/<file_name>`
* For private and internal repositories: `https://raw.sourcecraft.tech/raw/<organization_slug>/<repository_slug>/<commit_hash>/<file_name>?token=<short_lived_token>`

Links to raw files are convenient to use in automations, e.g., to download and run or simply download a single file without having to clone the entire repository:

```bash
# Downloading and running a script directly
curl -s https://raw.sourcecraft.tech/.../install.sh | bash

# Or downloading a file
wget https://raw.sourcecraft.tech/.../config.yaml
```

You can also use a temporary link to raw files to share a file from a private or internal repository with a user who does not have access to that repository.

To get a link to a raw file:
1. Open the SourceCraft [home page](https://sourcecraft.dev).
1. On the ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/house.svg) **Home** tab, under ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/layout-tabs.svg) **Your craftspace**, navigate to ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/archive.svg) **Repositories**.
1. Select a repository.
1. Below the repository name, select a branch.
1. Open the file you want to get the link to.
1. In the top-right corner, click ![image](../../_assets/sourcecraft/raw.svg)</svg>.

    The raw file link will open in a new window.

    {% note warning %}

    Links to files in private and internal repositories are temporary.

    {% endnote %}
