download-git-repo

Download and extract a git repository (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket,Gitee) from node.

Installation

$ npm install download-git-repo

API

download(repository, destination, options, callback)

Download a git repository to a destination folder with options, and callback.

repository

The shorthand repository string to download the repository from:

  • GitHub - github:owner/name or simply owner/name
  • GitLab - gitlab:owner/name
  • Bitbucket - bitbucket:owner/name
  • Gitee - gitee:owner/name

The repository parameter defaults to the master branch, but you can specify a branch or tag as a URL fragment like owner/name#my-branch. In addition to specifying the type of where to download, you can also specify a custom origin like gitlab:custom.com:owner/name. Custom origin will default to https or git@ for http and clone downloads respectively, unless protocol is specified. Feel free to submit an issue or pull request for additional origin options.

In addition to having the shorthand for supported git hosts, you can also hit a repository directly with:

  • Direct - direct:url

This will bypass the shorthand normalizer and pass url directly. If using direct without clone, you must pass the full url to the zip file, including paths to branches if needed. If using direct with clone, you must pass the full url to the git repo and you can specify a branch like direct:url#my-branch.

destination

The file path to download the repository to.

options

An optional options object parameter with download options. Options include:

callback

The callback function as function (err).
