Transfer folders

At work, files cannot be downloaded, but text can be pasted. pnpm transfer packs folders into one text file that recreates them: paste its text into a file there, run it with Node, and the folders are back with their whole tree.

pnpm transfer                                  # transfer/lint.mjs: the lint/ folder
pnpm transfer src                              # transfer/src.mjs: the whole library
pnpm transfer src/svg-transform src/svg-shape  # two themes, and the themes they import

On the other machine:

node lint.mjs                  # writes lint/ in the current folder
node lint.mjs ../my-workspace  # or in another folder
node lint.mjs --force          # replaces the files that already exist (kept otherwise)

• A folder of src/ brings the folders of src/ it imports (src/svg-shape brings src/svg-transform and src/math), so that the copy compiles. Their index.ts come along: the imports go through them.
• The file is plain JavaScript text: every file of the folders is a string inside it. It can be read before it is run.
• transfer/ is ignored by Git.

After transferring lint/, install the tools it uses (see Write the config).
