support update using URLs instead of namespaces #17

Open jhpoelen opened 4 years ago

jhpoelen commented 4 years ago

Currently, namespace (e.g., globalbioticinteractions/ucsb-izc) are used to update individual datasets using:

$ elton update globalbioticinteractions/ucsb-izc

where the namespace is available from list provided via elton ls after a full update elton update.

However, in the background, these namespaces are translated to github repositories (or their Zenodo counterparts) (e.g., https://github.com/globalbioticinteractions/ucsb-icz).

Suggest to directly support:

$ elton update https://github.com/globalbioticinteractions/ucsb-icz
