Enable import GitHub repo specific directory
Currently, "Import a repo" (when creating a new workspace) only works for cloning an entire repo.
- ✅ https://github.com/my-username/my-project (valid)
- ❌https://github.com/my-username/my-project/tree/main/examples/blog (not valid)
The ability to import a specific directory/path from a repo would be helpful, since many web frameworks have official examples in directories in a single repo.
Example:
- https://github.com/withastro/astro/tree/main/examples (Astro)
- https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples (Next.js)
Other online IDEs support this ability, such as Stackblitz, CodeSandbox.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your idea with us and for participating in our community.
Because we have officially announced the sunsetting of Firebase Studio and are currently focusing on the migration process, we are no longer accepting or implementing new feature requests for this product.
We appreciate your support and understanding as we transition to our next chapter.
