[TYPO3-core] Code of TER-Extensions

[Christian Zenker]

Hi Jost.

If you don't fear the console you can use Typo3ExtensionUtils

Dowload the tool

   git clone -b dev-2.0 https://github.com/czenker/Typo3ExtensionUtils.git
   cd Typo3ExtensionUtils
   composer install

Then use something like

   php bin/t3xutils.php ter:fetch -x news

or

   php bin/t3xutils.php ter:fetch -x --version="3.0.1" news

You have decide for yourself if you consider this *easy*. :)


As an alternative just look for the public repository on forge.typo3.org,  
git.typo3.org, github, etc.

Hope that helps,
Christian
