Using simple-git for code distribution

Open scripting opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

I have a what I think should be a simple application for simple-git.

basically want to do a one-way sync from a sub-folder of a git repo to a local folder.

My git skills are not very great. I have a call to .clone that gets the whole repo. I want to download a copy of just one folder.

const urlRepo = "https://github.com/scripting/test2";
const localFolderPath = "myAppFolder/";

git.clone (urlRepo, localFolderPath, function (err) {
	});

I'd like to do a clone of just part of a repo, basically.

Any help much appreciated.

Dave
