gitly

An API to download and/or extract git repositories.

This project is the spiritual successor of gittar written in TypeScript.

Usage

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

console.log(await download('https://github.com/iwatakeshi/gitly'))
// -> ~/.gitly/github/iwatakeshi/gitly/master.tar.gz

console.log(await download('gitlab:Rich-Harris/buble#v0.15.2'))
// -> ~/.gitly/gitlab/Rich-Harris/buble/v0.15.2.tar.gz

console.log(await download('Rich-Harris/buble', { host: 'gitlab' }))
// -> ~/.gitly/gitlab/Rich-Harris/buble/master.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

Since v2.0+

import gitly from 'gitly'

console.log(await gitly('iwatakeshi/gitly', '/path/to/extracted/folder/'))
// -> ['~/.gitly/github/iwatakeshi/gitly/master.tar.gz', '/path/to/extracted/folder/']
