The github API is used to get the list of all repositories on the
KiCad group on github. git alone cannot do that.

However the zips from github are requested instead of checking out the
repo via cloning. Theres definitely arguments for cloning vs not. One
of the annoyances I see is some repos can have huge histories and you
would stick a user would checking out that entire history the first
time for multiple repos. That and dealing with force pushed masters
and other messes.
