How to download a specific folder/directory from Github

I use this whenever I need to download a specific directory but I'm on a slow connection and the whole repository is too large and takes too long to clone. 😫

Install Gyumeijie/github-files-fetcher as a global package.

npm install -g github-files-fetcher

Usage example:

fetcher --url="https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/tree/master/themes/gatsby-theme-blog/" --out=/Users/eka

Download only the directory specified in --url.
Download to the directory specified in --out.

Don’t forget the trailing slash / if you are downloading a subdirectory.

This package is also available as a browser extension if you prefer doing this from the browser.

You could probably run npx github-files-fetcher. Haven't tried it myself.
