Specify github subfolder to run copy

[AndreSepulveda]

Basically I have multiple templates within the same github repo and Im trying to specify from which subfolder copier should run the copy command. Not sure if I missed something or if it's really not a default option.

If it's not possible, I believe it would be a nice feature to add since more people might want to use the same repo to hold multiple templates.

My structure is like this and I'd want to run copier copy git@my-repo ./my-target -folder templates/template_1

root/
  |---templates/
              |----- template_1/
              |               |-----  copier.yml
              |               |-----  main.py
              |
              |----- template_2/
                              |-----  copier.yml
                              |-----  main.py

Appreciate any help/clarification with this

This is answered in the docs: https://copier.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuring/#subdirectory

Can I have multiple templates in a single repo using this option?

The Copier recommendation is: 1 template = 1 Git repository.

So it's not supported. Thanks

No, it isn't.
