You can also download a tarball (*.tar.gz) with:

curl -LkSs https://api.github.com/repos/ziyaddin/xampp/tarball -o master.tar.gz

or if you use the -O you can omit the filename, but then your saved ".tar.gz" file, is named by default to "tarball", so you have to rename it and add the ".tar.gz" filetype postfix. So use the (lowercase) -o as above. The rest:

• Ss - use silent mode, but show errors, if any
• k - use an insecure SSL connection without checking the TLS cert.
