How does Nomad Pack pull these packs from the github repo?

[eighty4]

I was curious if Nomad Pack is getting pack sources from github or a server that's hosting the sources, updating the server cache after the github repo is updated. Just asking out of curiosity. The only way to get a list of all the files in a subdirectory of the repository would be a git pull of the entire repository (perhaps without the entire repo history) or using the GitHub API. I would imagine it's against GH's terms to serve content from GitHub for an application integration like this.
