download source code before define commit from github

Question

Is it possible to download source code from a github public project before a define commit. There is one project structure of which I want to get but it will be easier to understand it commit by commit. I can see it, but I want to download and test step by step.

Once you clone the repository, you can do git log to see a list of all commits on the master branch and then git checkout <SHA1> to move to any commit where <SHA1> is the string of characters on lines such as
