Download a single folder or directory from a GitHub repo to Colab
Question:
This topic suggests:
svn checkout https://github.com/lodash/lodash/trunk/test
But it doesn’t work in Colab. I tried to install svn:
!pip install tsvn
It returns an error:
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py
egg_info Check the logs for full command output.
Is there another way to download a folder from github?
Answers:
Don’t use pip, use apt instead
!apt install subversion
Then you can checkout normally
!svn checkout https://github.com/lodash/lodash/trunk/test
Colab uses Linux machine in the backend so use apt instead of pip
