Dgit

• English
• 简体中文

Dgit is a portable tool for downloading the specified directory or file of GitHub Repo. It can be used as a command line for global installation on the terminal, or as a node module. This tool does not rely on the local git, can directly download the specified directory file, reduce the traffic consumption, and is very suitable for scenarios where you want to download large projects, and can directly download the content you need.

      // You can also directly specify the download path address of gitHub
  }
  
  const destPath = path.resolve(__dirname, './aaa'); // Specify the file output directory
  
  const dgitOptions = {
      maxRetryCount: 3, // The maximum number of attempts to download again when the download fails due to network problems

      onResolved: (status) => void,
  }
  
  
  (async () => {
      await dgit(
          repoOption,
          destPath,

      );
      console.log('repoOption download succeed.');
  
      await dgit(

TIPS

When downloading the private repo, you need to provide download permission. At this time, you need to pass in additional parameters in two ways

• Basic authentication

  Download permission is provided by passing in user name and password. When passing in user name, password can not be provided explicitly. When password is not provided, password input option will appear password prompt;

  $ dgit d https://github.com/JohnApache/hasaki-cli/tree/master/src -d ./abc -u JohnApache

• OAuth2 token

  Token is another way of authority authentication provided by GitHub.

  Set the token method, which is located in Github Settings -> Developer settings -> Personal access tokens

  $ dgit d https://github.com/JohnApache/hasaki-cli/tree/master/src -d ./abc -t OAUTH-TOKEN
