Repository	GitHub	Sublime Text

Status

Feature

The following steps are performed one after the other.

1. GitHubFileFetcher (1/6): Fetching GitHub repositories.

This function allows you to search for GitHub owners or GitHub repositories.
The search results (owner/repository) are then displayed.

2. GitHubFileFetcher (2/6): Fetching branches.

After selecting the repository, all possible branches are displayed.

3. GitHubFileFetcher (3/6): Fetching files.

After that, select the desired file.

4. GitHubFileFetcher (4/6): Fetching destination folder.

Pick the workspace folder where the file should be written. At least one folder must be open in the window; otherwise an error dialog is shown instead of crashing.

5. GitHubFileFetcher (5/6): Enter or change destination file path…

Enter or change destination file path.

6. GitHubFileFetcher (6/6): Added file.

`Hocus Pocus` - The file was created at the desired location. File content is fetched from the GitHub API (URL-encoded paths, UTF-8 decode with replacement for non-text bytes).

Failed GitHub requests (for example 403 rate limit, 404, or connection errors) show an error dialog with HTTP status when available and stop the workflow cleanly.

GitHubFileFetcher: Should I save the new repository in the settings?

So that you don't have to search for the repositories again and again,
you can save the currently used one in the settings.

Shortcut: strg + alt + k, f
Command: GitHubFileFetcher: Searches and fetches files from GitHub.
