dgtools::repo

dgtools::repo - package and command line application for installation of tcl packages directly from github and chiselapp repositories.

DESCRIPTION

dgtools::repo- is a package for directly downloading folders and packages from github and chiselapp repositories. I is useful if multiple packages are available within a certain repository and the users only like to install one or a few of them. Further a command line interface is available to download specific directories from larger repositories.

EXAMPLE

package require tls
package require json
package require dgtools::repo
namespace import dgtools::repo
repo github import tcltk tcllib modules/snit
repo chiselapp import dgroth tclcode dgw
package require snit
package require dgw

Furthermore this package is a standalone application which allows you to download specific folders from github and chiselapp repositories.

Here an example which downloads a folder from github:

 $ tclsh repo.tcl https://github.com/tcltk/tcllib/tree/master/modules/des des

Here the same procedure but within an interactive tclsh:

 [grth@bariuke build]$ rlwrap tclsh
 % lappend auto_path .
 /usr/share/tcl8.6 /usr/lib64/tcl8.6 /usr/lib64/tk8.6 /usr/share/tk8.6 .
 % package require dgtools
 0.2
 % namespace import dgtools::repo
 % repo github import tcltk tcllib modules/des
