Gigit

gigit user/repo

---

Gigit, a tool for downloading repositories at a reasonable speed. It is written in Go, making it very efficient in starting any project.

Installation

go install github.com/nazhard/gigit/cmd/gigit@latest

Example

By default, gigit will download repos from GitHub, our favorite git as a service.

gigit user/repo

Spesific branch, commit hash, tag

You can use specific branches, commits, or tags with a #

gigit user/repo#dev

gigit user/repo#691c0bf

# on spesific tag, "v" is required
gigit user/repo#v1.0.0

Subdir

Get sub directory of a repository.

gigit user/repo/dir

gigit nazhard/gigit/cmd/gigit

Commands

Clone instead of download.

With cloning, you will get a .git folder (because it's just git clone 😂)

gigit clone user/repo

Clone with --depth=1 if you just want to fix typo

gigit c1 user/repo
# or
gigit 1 user/repo

Why not use degit instead?

I don't know. I was originally using degit with pnpm, and I felt this way:

• Slow
• Buggy
• Good

Honestly, it's a good project. But, it doesn't seem to be maintained.

From there I thought about making something similar, with some improvements (maybe).
