Synopsis

$ cloen [options] <repo-url|username/repo-name|own-repo-name>

Options

-n

Don't use full name. Default is on. Normally, repositories clone into their repository name with <author>--<repo-name> format. Like $ cloen kutsan/dotfiles clones into kutsan--dotfiles directory. If this option specified, it clones into dotfiles folder without dashes.

-o

Open editor, after clone finished. Default is off. If $GUI_EDITOR or $EDITOR globally specified, then repository will open in it, as $GUI_EDITOR primacy. Otherwise, vim will be used as default.

-e <editor>

Open with selected editor, after clone finished. No need extra -o flag. Note that, editor executable must be under your $PATH and it must accept directory with its first argument.
