Download file from github in CLI?

I'm trying to download the tokyo-night-storm.yaml colorscheme file from zellij. I thought that I just could do

wget https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/blob/main/example/themes/tokyo-night-storm.yaml

but I got the webpage instead of the theme-file. How can I retrieve the just the actual file and not the webpage?

If you want to download files via gh cli without having to have the raw link on hand:

curl -L $(gh api /repos/<owner>/<repo>/contents/<file> --jq .download_url) > <output_file>
