Clone content of Subdirectory of Git Repository

[seeh]

i was read "Clone Subdirectory of Git Repository" https://www.delftstack.com/howto/git/git-clone-subdirectory/

and so tried:

mkdir s9LocalRatings ; cd s9LocalRatings

git init

git remote add -f origin git@gitlab.com:sl5net/LocalRatings.git

git config core.sparsecheckout true

echo "LocalRatings/" >> .git/info/sparse-checkout

git pull origin master

as one-liner:

mkdir s1; cd s1; git init; git remote add -f origin git@gitlab.com:sl5net/LocalRatings.git; git config core.sparsecheckout true; echo "LocalRatings/" >> .git/info/sparse-checkout; git pull origin master

result:

that got me the LocalRatings folder (inside ....../mods/s9LocalRatings folder). nice :/ . but i want only the content of it ;(

any idea?

 

or maybe (in future) its possible to add/start a mode in 0ad from a sub/sub/..../sub-folder of the mods folder?

workaround bit ugly maybe:

 

mkdir LocalRatingsSeeh_gitFullRepo; cd LocalRatingsSeeh_gitFullRepo;
git init; git remote add -f origin git@gitlab.com:sl5net/LocalRatings.git; git config core.sparsecheckout true; echo "LocalRatings/" >> .git/info/sparse-checkout; git pull origin master;
cd ..; ln -s ./LocalRatingsSeeh_gitFullRepo/LocalRatings/ ./LocalRatingsSeeh;
