cgit

cgit is a utility that acts as a wrapper around git clone, allowing you to organize project folders in a reverse domain-like structure.

Usage

Assuming you have a repository at https://gitsite.com/username/repo-name.git, you can use cgit as follows:

cgit https://gitsite.com/username/repo-name.git

This command is equivalent to:

git \
clone \
https://gitsite.com/username/repo-name.git \
com.gitsite.username.repo-name/repo_name

The format of th above commands is as follows:

git \
clone \
<repo url> \
<repo reverse domain folder>/<repo name>

cgit is also compatible with repositories in the format: git@gitsite.com:username/repo-name.git.

Installation

To use cgit, follow these steps:

1. Install Rust.

2. Globally install the cargo-run-script Rust crate:

   cargo install cargo-run-script

3. This will install the cgit executable globally in the /usr/local/bin directory:

   cargo run-script install

4. After installation, cgit should be available in a new terminal session.
