You can always clone again, that's only one command to get source.
And with --depth=1 you can skip transfering the history, speeding
things up.

If it's easier to remember you could replace git fetch origin in my
previous suggested command with git pull, since pull=fetch+merge,
but I wanted to give as precise commands as possible.

Then you have to run 2 or 3 non-git commands to download and unpack.

Strange, but all right, if that's your preference then I understand. :)

Please know that my preferences on this aligns well with yours; I also
don't want to spend 10-15 minutes on getting and building source, but
fortunately it never takes that long to get and build most projects. \o/
