This is some older code, not really maintained, but could be useful, so we keep it here.

A bunch of programs to export OSM data into GIS formats such as Shapefiles, PostgreSQL or Spatialite.

Sorry, do docs yet. You have to look at the source code and change it according to your needs. This software can be used as basis for your own experiments, but you need to understand C++ for that. There is no one-size-fits-all solution here. Use osmium_toogr as a basis if you only need nodes or ways, no (multi)polygons. Use osmium_toogr2 as basis if you also need multipolygon support.

You need a C++14 compliant compiler. You also need the following libraries:

Osmium Library
    Need at least version 2.13.1
    https://osmcode.org/libosmium
    Debian/Ubuntu: libosmium2-dev
Protozero
    Need at least version 1.5.1
    https://github.com/mapbox/protozero
    Debian/Ubuntu: libprotozero-dev
gdalcpp
    https://github.com/joto/gdalcpp
    Included in the libosmium repository.
bz2lib (for reading and writing bzipped files)
    https://www.bzip.org/
    Debian/Ubuntu: libbz2-dev
CMake (for building)
    https://www.cmake.org/
    Debian/Ubuntu: cmake
Expat (for parsing XML files)
    https://libexpat.github.io
    Debian/Ubuntu: libexpat1-dev
    openSUSE: libexpat-devel
GDAL/OGR
    https://gdal.org/
    Debian/Ubuntu: libgdal-dev
zlib (for PBF support)
    https://www.zlib.net/
    Debian/Ubuntu: zlib1g-dev
    openSUSE: zlib-devel

apt-get install cmake libosmium2-dev libgdal-dev libproj-dev

In addition you might want to look at https://github.com/osmcode/osmium-proj if you are using PROJ 6 or above.

CMake is used for building.

To build run:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
