Built a Node.js CLI to clone a specific directory from any GitHub repo – looking for feedback

Hello everyone! It's my first time posting here so please bear with me! :)

I've recently built a small open-source CLI tool called ghdirclone.

It let's you clone a specific directory from any public GitHub repository, without needing to clone the full repo or have Git installed locally.

It uses the GitHub API directly and is built with Node.js.

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/Tim-Smans/gh-dir-clone

I'm mainly looking for feedback on:

  • Usability: is the CLI intuitive?
  • Potential missing features you would expect?
  • Any issues you notice on your OS (Windows/Linux/Mac)?

Thanks so much for taking a look! I'm open to all feedback, whether it's positive or brutally honest.

PS: If you happen to like it, a star would mean a lot! :)
