gh-clone

git clone a repo with only username/repo.

Install

Install globally with npm

$ npm i -g gh-clone

Usage

Let's say you want to clone micromatch:

$ gh-clone [owner/repo] <commands>

Examples

owner/repo

You can pass github owner name/repo:

$ gh-clone jonschlinkert/micromatch

repo

If you pass the repository name only, gh-clone will resolve the git url from the package.json hosted on npm.

$ gh-clone micromatch

flags

• -r|--repo: the repository to clone
• -b|--branch: the branch to clone
• -d|--dest: the local destination

Example: branch

Flags can be used in any order. If you want the dev branch of micromatch (when one exists):

$ gh-clone jonschlinker/micromatch -b dev

Example: destination

If you want to save to the foo directory

$ gh-clone jonschlinker/micromatch -d foo

Example: branch and destination

If you want to save the dev branch to the foo directory

$ gh-clone jonschlinker/micromatch -b dev -d foo
