a one-liner to fetch the latest revisions of /boot/*.{elf,dat} in the RPi firmware repository (because it's a 14GB repo and cloning takes forever, and we're only interested in ~20MB of data). requires the command line utils wget and jq

fetch_raspberry_pi_firmware.sh

wget --base=https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/raw/master/ -i <( wget -qO - https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot | jq -r '.payload.tree.items[].path | select(test("(elf|dat)$"))' )

This no longer works, and generates errors such as:

Any chance you could provide a quick fix? Would hate to download that 14GB repo! Thank you

Looks like GitHub now returns JSON where it previously returned HTML. I've added a new revision that uses wget+jq to extract the relevant URLs.
