ghgrab

Name: ghgrab
Author: akillness

Use this skill when users need to quickly fetch selected files/folders/release assets from GitHub in terminal workflows.

When to use

"GitHub에서 파일 몇 개만 가져오고 싶다"
Full clone is too heavy for one-off extraction
Need interactive repository navigation/search from CLI
Need release artifact download without browser

Instructions

Step 1: Verify availability and install path

command -v ghgrab || true

If missing, choose one installer:

# npm
npm install -g @ghgrab/ghgrab

# cargo
cargo install ghgrab

# pipx
pipx install ghgrab

Then verify:

ghgrab --help

Step 2: Start in interactive mode or open a target repo directly

# interactive home
ghgrab

# open repo directly
ghgrab https://github.com/OWNER/REPO

Step 3: Use selective download flow

Navigate/search inside repository tree
Select only required files/folders
Download into current working directory (or tool prompt target)
Prefer small, explicit selections over bulk pulls

Step 4: Release artifact mode

When user needs binary assets from GitHub Releases, use ghgrab release selection mode (OS/arch-aware options if shown by tool).

Step 5: Automation guardrails

Confirm destination path before writing files
Prefer non-destructive paths (new folder) when unsure
Log selected source repo and destination in run notes for reproducibility

Examples

# Browse then cherry-pick files
ghgrab https://github.com/rust-lang/rust

# Start home and search repos interactively
ghgrab

Pitfalls

Installing multiple package-manager variants can shadow binary paths; check which ghgrab.
Private repositories require valid GitHub auth/session context.
Avoid using ghgrab as a substitute for full repo history operations (use git clone when history/branch operations are required).
