download bulk styles
I need many different styles. I there a way to download all at once? Possibly by category (e.g. all tagged "biology"), but I also don't mind to download just all. Thanks in advance!

I had tried "Download zip" - basically works, just wondered if i can use folders to keep them apart as described above.
Github: To be honest, I am not familiar to that, and was simply afraid it might be a little bit too much and distract me further from my real work. But will have a look if it is helpful. Would using github solve my problem (keep styles organized and avoid installing each one by one)?
As for your question. The thing is: if you install styles via + (or any other method), Zotero just copies them to the top level of the styles directory anyway. I'd generally just advice to leave the styles folder alone. There's also the auto-updating that would be a concern, for example.
There are essentially no journals that host their own CSL styles, so that's not really an issue.
If you really need to, you could symlink from within the styles folder to your own organization, but that does seem a lot of trouble for a benefit I'm not really seeing.
