git​

git clone <URL> --no-checkout <directory> --depth 1

for example, if I want to download one folder https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus/tree/main/website/src/plugins/featureRequests from docusaurus repo, I run this:

git clone git@github.com:facebook/docusaurus.git --no-checkout website/src/plugins/featureRequests --depth 1

then

cd website/src/plugins/featureRequests
git sparse-checkout init --cone  # to fetch only root files
git sparse-checkout set website/src/plugins/featureRequests  #
