Ionize

A global helper for cloning git repos into namespaced paths.

Predictable, easy to use, and flexible.

Clone repos via https (default) or ssh 💻

Examples

HTTPS:

$ ionize github.com selfup fut
---> Protocol is: https
---> Ionize is cloning: https://github.com/selfup/fut
---> Into: /Users/RJPB2/Documents/src/github.com/selfup/fut
---> fut has been fetched successfully!

SSH

$ ionize github.com selfup fut ssh
---> Protocol is: ssh
---> Ionize is cloning: git@github.com:selfup/fut
---> Into: /Users/RJPB2/Documents/src/github.com/selfup/fut
---> fut has been fetched successfully!

Install

Using Rust/Cargo: cargo install ionize

Paths

Ionize expects an ENV variable called IONIZED_PATH to be set.

If it is not set:

1. On macOS/Linux: $HOME/workspace will be used.
2. On Windows: %USERPROFILE&\workspace will be used.

I like to set mine to export IONIZED_PATH=$HOME/Documents

For example you could set: export IONIZED_PATH=$HOME/Repos

Now you can use ionize to install all repos in $HOME/Repos/src/domain/author/repo 🎉

It doesn't have to be rust specific. It's a general helper 😄

Usage

0: ionize 1: domain 2: author 3: repo_name 4: ssh

https: ionize github.com selfup ionize

ssh: ionize github.com selfup ionize ssh

The domain github.com can be:

'gitlab.com' || 'bitbucket.org' || 'my.domain.net';
