dgtools::repo

NAME

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
