Requirements

• Git 2.25
• Go 1.23.3+ (for building/installing)

Installing

go install github.com/maxpilotto/git-plow

Basic Usage

Fetching a sub directory

$ git-plow <repo_url> <subdir_path>

E.g.

$ git-plow https://github.com/googlesamples/mlkit android/vision-quickstart

This will copy the content of the folder vision-quickstart in your working directory, without the need to download the entire repository.

You can also keep the original folder structure by using the -k flag, that will create the directories mlkit/android/vision-quickstart but only vision-quickstart will contain files.

Building

./build.sh
