npm i -g @ayan4m1/git-clone-sparse

git-clone-sparse ./local-dir https://github.com/user/repo ./path1/ ./path2/

OR

git-clone-sparse -g ./local-dir https://github.com/user/repo "**/*.safetensors"

Each command creates a directory called local-dir in your current working directory and then clones the specified URL. If you use glob mode, pass the -g flag. If you want to use a list of directories instead, do not use the -g flag.

import cloneSparse from '@ayan4m1/git-clone-sparse';

...

await cloneSparse(
  './new-repo-dir', // working copy directory
  'https://github.com/ayan4m1/git-clone-sparse' // repo URL
  ['./README.md'] // paths to include,
  {
    globs: false,
    force: false
  } // optional options object
);
