cl clones git repositories into nested folders like GOPATH and outputs the path of the cloned directory. Example:
cl https://github.com/foo/bar
Is roughly equivalent to:
git clone https://github.com/foo/bar ~/src/github.com/foo/bar
cd ~/src/github.com/foo/bar
You can install cl as a binary release or using Go:
go install github.com/felixge/cl@latest
In order for the example above to work, you'll need to configure a bash function in your profile that specifies your preferred installation -dir and changes into the cloned directory on success:
cl() {
cloned=$(command cl -dir "$GOPATH/src" "$1")
cd "$cloned"
}
After that any of the following commands can be used to clone a repo and change into its directory:
cl https://github.com/foo/bar.git
cl https://github.com/foo/bar
cl [email protected]:foo/bar.git
Without the bash function, you would have to use a slightly more verbose command:
cd $(cl -dir ~/src https://github.com/foo/bar)
