title: Load .zip file from GitHub in Google Colab
body: <p>I have a zip file at my GitHub repo. I want to load it into my Google Colab files. I have it's url from where it can be dowloaded like <code>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rehmatsg/../master/...zip</code></p>
  <p>I used this method to download file into Google Colab</p>
  <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>from google.colab import files
  
  url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/.../master/...zip'
  files.download(url)
  </code></pre>
  <p>But I get this error</p>
  <pre><code>FileNotFoundError                         Traceback (most recent call last)
  &lt;ipython-input-5-c974a89c0412&gt; in &lt;module&gt;()
        3 from google.colab import files
        4 
  ----&gt; 5 files.download(url)
  
  /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/google/colab/files.py in download(filename)
      141       raise OSError(msg)
      142     else:
  --&gt; 143       raise FileNotFoundError(msg)  # pylint: disable=undefined-variable
      144 
      145   comm_manager = _IPython.get_ipython().kernel.comm_manager
  
  FileNotFoundError: Cannot find file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/.../master/...zip
  </code></pre>
  <p>Files in Google Colab are temporary, so I cannot upload it each time. This is the reason I wanted to host the file in my project's GitHub repo.
  What would be the correct method to download the file into Google Colab?</p>
