Show HN: Sip: Alternative to Git Clone

3 seeyebe 2 8/26/2025, 6:22:47 PM github.com ↗
Built a tiny CLI called sip; lets you grab a single file, a directory, or an entire repo from GitHub without cloning everything.

Works smoothly on Linux/macOS. On Windows, there’s still a libstdc++ linking issue with the exe, contributions or tips are welcome.

Why no regexes, and why restrict yourself to C++17?

Didn't need the complexity of regexes for this, and C++17 strikes a good balance between features and availability.
