Nice!
Pretty basic question, but how do I use this in another python file via import?
For me, running the following command in terminal does the work
python gh-download.py --token=token --org=org --repo=repo --branch=branch --folder=folder
How do you run this line in terminal that begins with C:Users\Admin>
and starting python the >>> do not accept this line
Need to have file.py that contains this line and the run it ?
how do specify the repo or the particular code to be processed by python ?
Thank you

Hi I run it in Linux terminal. You may want to find a way to run the python code in Windows.
This helped me a lot, thanks!
My version of download_directory is a bit shorter. Mine doesn't make a directory, then delete a directory, then make the directory again, when executing the if content.type == 'dir':clause. But overall, great code!
Sorry for my ignorance, which fields do i need to fill with the repository information? The values inside the parentheses (token,org,repo..)?
github = Github(token)
organization = github.get_organization(org)
repository = organization.get_repo(repo)
sha = get_sha_for_tag(repository, branch)
download_directory(repository, sha, folder)
Hey @RenanBancke - here is a short snippet of my production code, with the values explained line by line. It's not the same as your example but perhaps it's close enough to help you (or someone else).
g = github.Github(token)
Here, token is a string of length 40 starting with "ghp_". Look here for more information.
user = g.get_user(user_str)
repo = user.get_repo(repo_str)
Here user_str is "pjcpjc" and repo_str is "tts_netflow". This is referring to the public repo here. I believe it all works similarly if you want to refer to repos owned by an organization as opposed to a repo owned by a user.
sha = _get_sha_for_tag(repo, release_tag)
Here, release_tag is "0.0.2". So I'm going to get the files from here. I believe you can use all sorts of identifying strings for this second argument, to include the long randomized SHA strings.
From here my code gets more complicated, but there is a line that's like download_directory(repository, sha, folder), with folder being "tts_netflow". Note that in this case, I'm referring to the directory named "tts_netflow" and not the repo named "tts_netflow". Specifically, I'm downloading this directory. If I were to pass "test_tts_netflow" as the folder then I would be downloading this directory.
Hopefully that helps. At any rate, it helped me review my production code.
