What its author says it does

Use when adding a new Git repository as a skill source for the current project or user-level .claude/skills directory. Use when the user provides a repo URL or owner/repo shorthand to install skills from.
The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Install Git Skills
Creates a .gs-meta source file for a Git repository and immediately installs its skills.

<repo> | (required) GitHub shorthand (owner/repo) or full Git URL |
--path= | Subfolder within the repo to install from (default: repo root) |
--name= | Override the source name used in the .gs-meta filename (default: last segment of repo) |

After installing, reload skills in your agent (e.g. /reload-plugins for Claude Code).
Examples
Install all skills from a GitHub repo:
bash ~/.claude/skills/install-git-skills/install.sh googleworkspace/cli --path=skills
Install only specific skills:
bash ~/.claude/skills/install-git-skills/install.sh googleworkspace/cli --path=skills --allow=gws-gmail,gws-calendar
