Begit Core

Cloning to a directory

import { downloadRepo } from "@begit/core";
await downloadRepo({
 repo: {
  owner: "Tommypop2",
  name: "begit",
  branch: undefined,
  subdir: undefined,
 },
 dest: "cool_project",
});

The code above downloads this repository into a folder named cool_project.

Alternatively, downloadAndExtract could be used in place of downloadRepo to opt out of automatically attempting to handle errors

Providing a custom commit hash

import { downloadRepo } from "@begit/core";

const custom_hash = "9e4e51beb1ac76e6c37be1757f14b904617a2f9b";

await downloadRepo({
 repo: {
  owner: "Tommypop2",
  name: "begit",
  branch: undefined,
  subdir: undefined,
  hash: custom_hash,
 },
 dest: "cool_project",
});

Fetching the most recent cached commit

import { downloadRepo } from "@begit/core";

const most_recent_hash = await getMostRecentCachedCommit("Tommypop2", "begit"); // string | undefined

await downloadRepo({
 repo: {
  owner: "Tommypop2",
  name: "begit",
  branch: undefined,
  subdir: undefined,
  hash: most_recent_hash,
 },
 dest: "cool_project",
});

Using a fetcher

import { downloadRepo, matchFetcher } from "@begit/core";
const fetcher = matchFetcher("github");

await downloadRepo({
 repo: {
  owner: "Tommypop2",
  name: "begit",
  branch: undefined,
  subdir: undefined,
  hash: most_recent_hash,
 },
 dest: "cool_project",
}, fetcher);
