Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

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
  • Uses Git's sparse checkout for efficient cloning
  • No need to clone entire repositories when you only need a subset of files
