way to download deleted folder

Is there any way to download accidentally deleted course folder without downloading everything else (or new configuration).
$ python3 main.py
doesn't support it.

There are several ways to re-download a course folder that was accidentally deleted.

I think the best option is to copy your configuration to another folder and use --config to select only the course you want to download again, don't forget to run the downloader in the new folder. Finally you can copy the downloaded folder back into your old main folder.

Alternatively, you can look at thee
--manage-database option, or use a Sql-Lite browser to delete entries from the database which should be downloaded again.

@C0D3D3V Thanks for the reply.

I like the sqlitebrowser option above. But it would be better if it can be done automatically.
I was thinking of a command line option like --checkout as git checkout and --status as git status in the main.py, so that it can be done git way.

I think currently it is not a good idea to add git to the project. It's not hard to wrap the script to create a new commit after each execution, if new data is available. In general, this brings a lot of overhead. But please create a new issue if you think it makes sense to add a function that automatically creates git commits (and initializes a repo if necessary).
