Since v1.0+
import { download, extract } from 'gitly'
console.log(await download('iwatakeshi/gitly'))
// -> ~/.gitly/github/iwatakeshi/gitly/master.tar.gz
console.log(await download('iwatakeshi/gitly#v1.0.0'))
// -> ~/.gitly/github/iwatakeshi/gitly/v1.0.0.tar.gz

const source = 'path to downloaded zip file (can be obtained by download())'
const destination = '/path/to/foobar'
await extract(source, destination)
// -> /path/to/foobar
