GitHub, GitLab, <place name here>, and all those sites are NOT Git. They are collaboration platforms that use Git for source code management and offer some additional tooling around it. One such offer is to allow the user to download a ZIP or Tar archive of a particular state of a repository (i.o.w.: a snapshot, w/o the history), which can be identified by a Git tag, but also by a changeset identifier (for example: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/archive/d240e450f449f16ef176a9cb563b9f0447687a6e.zip ). These are usually created on the fly when someone requests the download. Speaking of Git tags (or branches): They're all the same, a reference to a specific changeset. The only difference is that branch refs are a moving target (they always reference the latest changeset of a particular branch of development), while tags are not. HTH...
