git-smart-clone

A simple git extension that clones a git directory to sub folder based on the git url.

Installation

To install use pipx:

pipx install git-smart-clone

Usage

By default this will clone a git repo into your ~/src directory in the format hostname/owner/repo name. This can be overridden with the environmental variable: GIT_SMART_CLONE_BASE_PATH.

So this command

git smart-clone https://github.com/sam-phinizy/git-smart-clone

would clone this repo to this location on your computer:

~/src/github.com/sam-phinizy/git-smart-clone.

Note: Any flags passed to the command will be passed through to git.
