Repo-Pack is a Go-based tool designed to download files from a specified GitHub repository directory, preserving the directory structure relative to a specified base directory. It's particularly useful for cloning parts of a repository or extracting specific directories without the need to clone the entire project.

Features

• Download files from public GitHub repositories.
• Preserve the directory structure starting from a specified base directory.
• Support for GitHub personal access tokens for private repositories (feature in progress).

Requirements

• Go 1.21.4 or higher

Installation

• For mac/linux: curl -LsSf https://dub.sh/repo-pack | sh
• For windows: curl -LsSf https://dub.sh/repo-pack-win | sh

Building

Clone the repository and build the binary:

git clone https://github.com/stemitom/repo-pack.git
cd repo-pack
go build -o repo-pack

Usage

Run the tool with the required flags:

./repo-pack --url <repository_url> [--token <personal_access_token>]

• --url: The full URL to the GitHub repository directory you wish to download.
• --token: Your GitHub personal access token (optional, required for private repositories).

Example

To download the lua directory from a repository:

./repo-pack --url https://github.com/JazzyGrim/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/nvim/lua

This will create a directory named lua in your current working directory and download all files under the .config/nvim/lua directory from the repository, preserving the structure under lua.

Configuration

No additional configuration is required. However, you can set up a .gitignore file to ignore binaries or other directories as needed.
