Dependency on sub-directory of git repo

[torn shell]

There is a C git repository that I would like to add as a dependency, but I only need a specific sub-directory of it. Is there a way to add the sub-directory as a dependency instead of the whole repo?

github.com/user/c-codebase
/
|- some-code/
|- more-code/
|- code-i-want/ # <- This is the library I need
|- even-more-code/

Example pseudo-command:

zig fetch git+https://github.com/user/codebase?path=code-i-want

There might be a better answer, but just to get you going for now, One option is to checkout the whole repo, but tell build.zig to only point to the sub folder inside.
