Show HN: Sip: Alternative to Git Clone

3•seeyebe•2h ago

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.
