The smart way to clone GitHub sub-directories!

Do you want to clone a sub-directory of a GitHub repository without downloading the whole repo? Do you want to save time and bandwidth by cloning only the part of the repo that you need? If yes, then you need clone-github-subdir, a handy command-line tool that lets you do just that!

clone-github-subdir is a simple and fast way to clone any sub-directory of a GitHub repo to your local machine. It is useful for many scenarios, such as:

• You want to try out a sample project or a tutorial from a large repo, but you don’t want to clone the entire repo.
• You want to reuse some code or files from a sub-directory of another repo, but you don’t want to fork or clone the whole repo.
• You want to contribute to a sub-directory of an open-source repo, but you don’t want to clone the whole repo and deal with unnecessary files.

With clone-github-subdir, you can clone any sub-directory of a GitHub repo with just one command. You can also choose to clone only the current sub-directory, not its parent directory, for more convenience.

clone-github-subdir is easy to install and use. You can install it from crates.io using cargo, or you can build it from source using git. To use it, you just need to provide the GitHub sub-directory URL as an argument, and optionally use the --curdir or -c option to clone only the current sub-directory.

For example, if you want to clone the nodejs/hello sub-directory of the second-state/wasm-learning repo, you can run:

cgs https://github.com/second-state/wasm-learning/tree/master/nodejs/hello

Or if you want to clone only the hello sub-directory, you can run:

cgs -c https://github.com/second-state/wasm-learning/tree/master/nodejs/hello

clone-github-subdir is a powerful and handy tool for anyone who works with GitHub repos. It saves you time and bandwidth by cloning only what you need. It is also open-source and licensed under the MIT license, so you can use it freely and modify it as you wish.
