cli usage

Usage: gitless [OPTIONS] --url <URL> --dest <DEST_PATH>

Options:
  -u, --url <URL>         Git URL you would like to clone and degit from
      --dest <DEST_PATH>  Destination of cloned and degitted path
  -b, --branch <BRANCH>   Git branch or tag to clone and degit from
  -r, --rev <REV>         Git commit hash to clone and degit from

notes

• If neither --branch nor --rev is provided, the tool will clone the default branch of the repository.
• Ensure that the specified destination path is valid and accessible.
• Use caution when using the `--rev`` option, as it will degit the repository at the specified commit, potentially resulting in a detached HEAD state.
• Gitless is not affiliated with Git or any Git hosting service. Use at your own discretion.
