Import GitHub Directories
TRIGGER CONDITIONS
USE when:
- "bring in files from [repo]"
- "import directories from GitHub"
- Copying code from external repos
SKIP when:
- User wants to clone entire repo
- Just need single file (use raw URL instead)
One-Command Import
curl -L https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/tarball/{branch} | \
tar -xz --strip-components=1 --wildcards '*/{dir1}/*' '*/{dir2}/*'
Examples
Single directory:
curl -L https://github.com/rjs/shaping-skills/tarball/main | \
tar -xz --strip-components=1 --wildcards '*/shaping/*'
Multiple directories:
curl -L https://github.com/rjs/shaping-skills/tarball/main | \
tar -xz --strip-components=1 --wildcards '*/breadboarding/*' '*/shaping/*'
How It Works
- HTTP download of tarball (no git operations)
--strip-components=1removes root folder--wildcardsextracts only matching paths- Files land in current directory, ready to move/stage/commit
