Usage

Shortest command

Run python extractor.py [family].

Deep extraction

Run python extractor.py [family] --deep.

Change output directory

By default all extracted families will be saved to a folder named "extracted" by default unless overridden by -o/--output.

Run python extractor.py [family] -o [output_dir]

Dont copy licenses

Use --no-licenses to skip copying licenses.

It's not recommended to skip copying licenses if you plan to open-source or publish your model in the future.

Overwrite existing outputs

This is useful for if you modified files and cannot revert to the originals.

WARINING overwriting directories is IRREVERSIBLE.

Use --force if you AFTER backing up any files you wish to keep.
