Excuse my ignorance. The advantage of this tool over 'git clone --depth 1' is that this tool can clone just specific files?

- robin21 6y agoA motivational section in readme would be useful. I can imagine that it’s mostly for convenience. I can think of use cases including: - downloading a single package from a monorepo - being able to copy paste a url from GitHub for the directory you are currently viewing
- habibr 6y agoThanks for the suggestion, added :) Yeah as you've said, I often find myself wanting to only download a certain directory, path or package of an especially big repo that I'm currently viewing (without even cloning the entire repo at depth 1) and to do so by simply copy & pasting the GitHub URL so that's why. Probably more instances where this might come in handy ;)
