description: Import specific directories from external GitHub repos without cloning. Uses tarball extraction to pull only what you need. TRIGGER when user wants to copy files/folders from another repo.

Import GitHub Directories

TRIGGER CONDITIONS

USE when:

  • •"bring in files from [repo]"
  • •"import directories from GitHub"
  • •Copying code from external repos

SKIP when:

  • •User wants to clone entire repo
  • •Just need single file (use raw URL instead)

One-Command Import

bash
curl -L https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/tarball/{branch} | \
  tar -xz --strip-components=1 --wildcards '*/{dir1}/*' '*/{dir2}/*'

Examples

Single directory:

bash
curl -L https://github.com/rjs/shaping-skills/tarball/main | \
  tar -xz --strip-components=1 --wildcards '*/shaping/*'

Multiple directories:

bash
curl -L https://github.com/rjs/shaping-skills/tarball/main | \
  tar -xz --strip-components=1 --wildcards '*/breadboarding/*' '*/shaping/*'

How It Works

  • •HTTP download of tarball (no git operations)
  • •--strip-components=1 removes root folder
  • •--wildcards extracts only matching paths
  • •Files land in current directory, ready to move/stage/commit
