Readme
clone-dir
Clone a subdirectory from a GitHub repository easily using npx.
Description
clone-dir
is a command-line tool that allows you to clone a specific subdirectory from a GitHub repository without cloning the entire repo. It uses Git's sparse checkout feature to efficiently download only the files you need.
Installation
You don't need to install this package globally. You can run it directly using npx:
npx clone-dir <github-url> <target-dir>
Usage
To use clone-dir
, run the following command:
npx clone-dir <github-url> <target-dir>
Replace <github-url>
with the URL of the GitHub subdirectory you want to clone, and <target-dir>
with the local directory where you want to clone the files.
Example
To clone the examples/expo-router
subdirectory from the nativewind/nativewind
repository:
npx clone-dir https://github.com/nativewind/nativewind/tree/main/examples/expo-router my-expo-router-example
This will clone only the examples/expo-router
subdirectory and its contents into the my-expo-router-example
directory.
Features
- Clone specific subdirectories from GitHub repositories
