README

clone 💾

[!Note] This is just a tiny convenience tool for when I'm cloning Gists and GitHub repos.

Installation

go install github.com/peterhellberg/clone@latest

Usage

clone -h

Usage of clone:
  -base string
    	The base directory to clone into (default "/home/peter/Code/GitHub")
  -name string
    	The name to use for the project, if blank use GitHub name

[!Tip] You can specify both the base directory where you keep your cloned repositories, as well as the name to use for the directory of the project being cloned.

clone -base=/tmp/repos -name=trooper git@github.com:peterhellberg/clone.git
