# For slicing git repositories

### Warning!

This performs permanent modification to your git repository! Be careful.

### Installation

```

raco pkg install git-slice

```

### Sample use:

```

$ cd my-repo

$ racket -l git-slice subdir

```

This destructively updates `my-repo` to only include `subdir`.

It performs multiple steps, which can be split out as follows:

```

$ mkdir /path/to/tmp-data

$ cd my-repo

$ racket -l git-slice/compute subdir /path/to/tmp-data

$ racket -l git-slice/filter /path/to/tmp-data

$ racket -l git-slice/chop /path/to/tmp-data

```

The `git-slice/filter` and `git-slice/chop` steps can take a long

time. They can be sped up by using a ramdisk: see [here][1] for Linux

instructions to set one up, and then add `-d /tmp/ramdisk/scratch` as

an additional argument. This is also supported for the `git-slice`

command itself. The provided path must not yet exist.

`git-slice` can be provided a second argument for a temporary

directory to use to store metadata files. If not provided, a temporary

directory is created. This directory is _not_ removed after slicing.

The `--dry-run` command can be provided to any command to see what it

would do without doing any permanent damage.
