REM Sample script that downloads files from a Git repository published on Github

REM This script assumes that Git client is installed.
REM If it is not, please download the official Git client from https://www.git-scm.com/download/win and install it.

REM Files from public repositories can be downloaded straight away.
REM However, Git client will need a personal access token in order to download files from private repositories.
REM Please follow these articles for guidance:
REM - https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token
REM - https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/caching-your-github-credentials-in-git

REM Please specify the full path of the Git client executable
REM If Git installation directory is listed in %PATH%, then specifying "git.exe" here will work
set GIT_CLIENT="%PROGRAMFILES%\Git\bin\git.exe"
REM set GIT_CLIENT="git.exe"

REM Please specify the URL of the Github repository here
set GITHUB_REMOTEURL="https://github.com/amg1127/IT_BR_NZ"

REM Please specify a directory where a local clone of the Github repository will be stored
set GITHUB_LOCALDIR="local IT_BR_NZ"
