🧩 gitc

A lightweight CLI tool to copy files or folders directly from a GitHub repository using a URL — no need to clone the whole repo!

---

✨ Features

• 🚀 Copy entire repositories, folders, or single files from GitHub
• 📂 Specify a destination folder
• 🪶 No dependencies on git — works via GitHub’s HTTP interface
• 🧱 Built with Bun for speed and portability

⚠️ Note

Currently, gitc supports only GitHub URLs. Support for other Git providers (GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.) is planned for future releases.

👉 Contributions are welcome! Feel free to open an issue or raise a PR.
