Add ability to pull student repos issue #8

[shanep]

What are you trying to accomplish?

Change the default behavior when cloning student repos to skip any repos that have already been cloned. Add in a command line flag to allow existing repos to be sync'd instead of a full clone.

Fix issue #14
Implements Feature #8

What approach did you choose and why?

Instead of doing a fresh clone every single time, skip any repos that have already been cloned and give the user a new command line flag to sync. If the user wants a fresh clone then they can already use the --directory flag to do so.

UPDATE: This change should take some pressure off your endpoint :)

What should reviewers focus on?

I couldn't see anywhere in the documentation where the gh cli allows you to pass a path when performing a sync so I had to change the working directory. If there is a better way to do a sync with the gh client please let me know :)

Will help a lot for using this tool for sure! 😍

@shanep thank you for this contribution!

I was chatting with @RyanHecht and in order to be consistent with typical git commands, it would make more sense to have a gh classroom pull command rather than a --sync flag on the gh classroom clone command.

If you could take some time to make this into it's own command then I'd be happy to re-review.

@zrdaley no problem! I like that approach its keeps the semantics all lined up and doesn't overload the clone command :) I will get it all updated as soon as I can :)

@zrdaley Changes have been pushed to the branch and are ready for review :)

I tested the command locally and it worked as expected 🎉

However, to ensure that this is aligned with the clone command, should we have the ability to pull starter-repos as well? i.e.

gh classroom pull starter-repos
# OR
gh classroom pull student-repos

[shanep]

Updated to align with the clone command for both student repos and starter code :)

I think this should be good to go now. However, please let me know if you still see any issues :)

Small nit, but otherwise LGTM! Thank you for this contribution.

No worries :) Truly appreciate the feedback! Excited to see this get merged.

Once https://github.com/github/gh-classroom/actions/runs/6395315615 is green you should be able to upgrade the CLI and use this command.
