Clone any sub-directory of a Github repository to your local machine with this handy command-line tool. It is useful if you only want to clone a specific part of a repo.
You can install clone-github-subdir from crates.io using cargo:
cmd
cargo install clone-github-subdir
Or you can build it from source using git:
cmd
git clone https://github.com/isurfer21/clone-github-subdir.git
cd clone-github-subdir
cargo build --release
To use clone-github-subdir, first check if all set via short command cgs along with --help or -h option, e.g.,
```cmd
cgs --help Usage: cgs [options]
Arguments: link Github sub-directory URL
Options: -h, --help Show this help message -v, --version Show the program version -c, --curdir Current sub-directory only ```
You can also use the following options:
-h, --help: Show the help message and exit.-v, --version: Show the program version and exit.-c, --curdir: Clone only the current sub-directory, not its parent directory.Now to clone the GitHub sub-directory, you can provide any GitHub repository's sub-directory URL as an argument, e.g.,
cmd
cgs https://github.com/second-state/wasm-learning/tree/master/nodejs/hello
This will clone the nodejs/hello sub-directory of the second-state/wasm-learning repo to your current working directory.
Alternatively, to clone only the target sub-directory, you can use --curdir or -c option , e.g.,
cmd
cgs -c https://github.com/second-state/wasm-learning/tree/master/nodejs/hello
This will clone only the hello sub-directory, not its parent directory like nodejs/hello.
