redetection/github-clone

A tiny script to speed up clone and cd

github-clone

I store github projects under ~/src/github folder, and instead of issuing a cd command, ls to check if I have one and finally git clone I can just run this line to immediately clone and fall into project folder, no matter where I been in the filesystem.

. github clone https://github.com/ReDetection/github-clone.git

Note the dot and a space before github, they matter! This expands to source to be able to change directory from a basj script.

Features

• automatic cancellation of .git suffix for the projects
• on existing cloned projects, it will just cd into and do a git fetch
• -t {type} (defaults to github). Clone project to other folder E.g. -t work will clone project to ~/src/work/PROJECTNAME
• --debug will just show where the files go and does nothing.
