Github Selective Downloader

• Sometimes github repositories can be really big and take excess space, while the content actually needed can be quite small.
• Still to get that deeply nested content we need to completely download/clone the repository and then access the content.
• That content can be a file(text, image, code, etc) or a folder.
• so to minimise this hasstle this script can be used to download only the required content from github repository.
• The script focuses on efficiency and optimisation along with no data loss, all the files available in github repo can be downloaded easily.

how to use

• Use the command in the flllowing way

  $> node index.js "repo link or nested folder(/file) link inside repo" "path/to/download"
  

  • or

  $> node index.js "repo link or nested folder(/file) link inside repo" 
  // in this case current working directory is used
  

• to use globally use npm link to link this project to global npm package list.
