Output Format

The command outputs XML-formatted content:

• <directory_structure> - tree view of fetched files
• <files> - file contents wrapped in <file path="..."> tags

Examples

# Fetch a specific directory
ungit -p facebook/react/packages/react

# Fetch from a branch
ungit -p vercel/next.js/examples@canary

# Filter: Only TypeScript files
ungit -p -i "*.ts" -i "*.tsx" user/repo/src

# Filter: Exclude tests and config files
ungit -p -e "*.test.*" -e "*.config.*" user/repo

# Filter: Combine filters
ungit -p -i "*.py" -e "*_test.py" user/repo/src
