copy-repo-files

Just to copy files from specified repo to destination folder

This script will help you to copy the files from the specified repo to the destination folder.

Nowadays, there are times when you need to have the source code with you rather than depend on the package manager to install the version for you.

Installation

you can install as global dependency and use it from anywhere in the terminal.

$ npm install -g copy-repo-files
$ copy-repo-files git:lodash/lodash main dist/lodash.js ./src/lib/

or you could use npx to run the script without installing it globally.

$ npx copy-repo-files git:lodash/lodash main dist/lodash.js ./src/lib/

Usage

$ copy-repo-files <repo> <branch> <file> <destination>

The repository from which you want to copy the files. It should be in the format of https://github.com/<username>/<repo>.git

For github repos shortcut is git:<username>/<repo>

branch:

The branch from which you want to copy the files. This can be commit number or tag number that you can pass to the git checkout command.
