Description

Right now, repo and path are two arguments:

gimme github.com/matryer/http decode

Where decode is a folder inside the http repo.

It would be awesome if we could figure out a way to merge this. It's not as simple as it seems because of all the different types of repos that go get supports.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current argument parsing logic in the CLI and explore ways to accept a single combined argument like 'github.com/matryer/http/decode' while still supporting different repo types supported by 'go get'.
