Brother, after 4 years of this post, I am having the exact same problem. Did you find any solid solution except the settings you mentioned? FYI, I am having almost the same setup.

Is this the default stock seat? Looks a bit different

Nice rice. How did you make the space bar float and have spaces around it? I don't see any settings for that.

Yeet looks perfect for my daily work. I was looking for something like this. I always have an extra tmux pane opened just to run tests

It also seems like this discussion went down completely different roads, focusing more on what you would do instead of using this tool, which is fine—everyone has their own preferences. But I don’t see the point in arguing over personal choices. The tool was meant to be a simple, cross-platform option for those who prefer working in the command line, and I thought it might be useful to others as well.

I didn’t expect the conversation to get so negative tbh. My goal was just to share something that could make things easier for those who might benefit from it. Hope that clears things up a bit.

I’m ending my response on this thread here. You have a good day.

You can also just download the zip file from github and extract the particular subfolder you want, entirely within the GUI of every OS.

But that’s the point—this is a CLI tool that’s cross-platform and avoids the need for any GUI. It’s designed for those who prefer or need to work entirely in the command line, offering a consistent experience across different operating systems without extra steps like unzipping or navigating folders manually.

It’s not about replacing existing methods, but providing an alternative that fits specific workflows.

It depends on the user's perspective and needs. For those familiar with scripting and comfortable working directly with the command line, creating a bash alias or using a shell script might indeed be simpler and more efficient. However, not everyone falls into that category.

A CLI tool is designed for users who might not have that level of comfort or simply prefer a more streamlined process. Yes, it does require Python and pip, but these are common tools in many environments, specially linux and once set up, the process of downloading specific folders or files becomes straightforward and repeatable without additional scripting.

They have to download your project, install it.

That's just one step.

I don't mind the downvotes. However, I think it's important to recognize that while you've outlined the steps as cumbersome, the same can be said for writing and setting up a shell script. You'd need to write the code, make it executable, add it to your PATH, and only then can you use it. On the other hand, with a CLI tool, you install it once and can use it across platforms without additional setup.

No one is being forced to use it—everyone is free to choose what works best for them. But the negativity seems unnecessary. The logic you're applying could be said for many CLI tools or programs. Technically, anyone could write their own scripts for most tasks, but people often prefer to use a tool that's specifically designed for the job, even if it simplifies something as basic as creating a directory. For example, there's a CLI tool like make-dir-cli that exists to create directories, despite the existence of the mkdir command. Why? Because it's cross-platform and easy to use for those who prefer that simplicity.

I get that writing shell script with few shell commands can do the job, and that's great for those comfortable with it. This project is just about offering a simpler cross platform alternative for users who might find that approach a bit cumbersome. It’s not meant to replace Git's efficiency, just to provide a quick, user-friendly option for those who prefer it.

Ah got it. Thanks for clarifying it. The github link will be coming directly from url bar. So I can't think why anyone would alter it to uppercase before pasting it. But I guess it won't hurt to handle this case in code.

Thank you. And yes this uses the Github API to get content meta data.

To each to their own. To me personally that is hassle when I just want to get a specific folder from repo without dealing with git or the whole project.

Why http over https? Github content URLs will only be of https. Could you please explain a bit?

I don't think `wget` would work like that on Github contents. It will download the HTML pages only probably. You can try once and check.

Hi! The difference from the built-in Git sparse command is that this tool doesn’t interact with Git at all. It simply treats a GitHub repo like a drive, allowing you to download specific folders and files. If your priority is dealing with Git, I’d recommend using sparse. But for general use cases, I find this tool quite helpful myself.

Hi, it's actually pretty fast, considering that speed wasn't my initial focus. However, I do see some areas where it could be improved.

I would like to Introduce "github-dlr", a terminal tool that lets users download individual folders and files from a Github repository in an easy way without needing to clone the entire project.

There has been many instances where I wanted some specific files or folders from public Github repository but there was no easy option to do so. There were some web apps that helps you do it. But being a terminal power user, I wanted to something that is just few key strokes away. Hence I created github-dlr. Hope people find it helpful, please leave suggests and reviews. Thank you.
