Is it possible for a .spec file to clone a github.com repo rather than
download a tarball?  Can someone link to a working example?

Git clones are bulky, with the entire history of a project rather than
merely the state of the repo at the moment of that tag or git commit.
The "Source:" line can point to a specific archibal tarball or zipfile
export of sourcecode at github.com, such as:

             https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/archive/refs/tags/2.15.46.zip


IIRC, such archives are created on the fly and for some reason not consistent. Some projects do provide additionally source packages for there releases because of that ...
