  "github_readme_excerpt": "# cargo-clone\n\ncargo-clone can be used to fetch the source code of a Rust crate from a registry.\n\n    cargo clone [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] \u003ccrate\u003e... [-- \u003cdirectory\u003e]\n\ncargo-clone is a [Cargo subcommand](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/wiki/Third-party-cargo-subcommands).\n\n# Installation \u0026 upgrading\n\n    cargo install cargo-clone\n\n## Usage\n\n    cargo clone [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] \u003ccrate\u003e... [-- \u003cdirectory\u003e]\n\nTo download cargo-clone\u0027s code you would use\n\n    cargo clone cargo-clone\n\n\n### Specifying versions\nThe latest available version is downloaded by default.\nIf specific versions are desired, semver specifiers can be appended to crate names. \n\n\n    cargo clone cargo-clone@1.0.0\n\nVersions are matched exactly by default, but other kinds of matching are also allowed.\n\n    cargo clone cargo-clone@~1.0.0\n\n\n### Cloning from git repositories\nUsing the `--git` flag runs `git clone` on each git repository url extracted from crate\u0027s metadata.\n\nThese lines are roughly equivalent:\n\n    cargo clone --git cargo-clone\n    git clone https://github.com/janlikar/cargo-clone\n\nThe command fails if a crate does not have the repository field set to a valid git repository.\n\n\n### Output directory\nCrates are downloaded into `$PWD/$CRATE_NAME` by default.\n\nThe output dir can be specified as the last argument:\n\n    cargo clone cargo-clone -- foo  # Downloads into $PWD/foo\n\nIf multiple packages are downloaded at the same time or if the directory contains a trailing slash,\nthe packages will be downloaded into subdirectories of the path provided.\n\n    cargo clone cargo-clone -- pkgs/  # Creates pkgs/cargo-clone/\n    cargo clone cargo serde -- pkgs2/  # Creates pkgs2/cargo and pkgs2/serde\n\n\n## Contributing\nContributions are welcome. Feel free to open a PR into develop branch.\n\nWhen running locally, you can run using `cargo run -- clone CRATE` or `cargo-clone clone CRATE`.\n\nBy opening a PR you agree to license your code under Apache/MIT licenses.\n",
