git-clone-canonical

Clone a git repository into a standard local path derived from the URL.

Example

$ git clone-canonical 'https://github.com/nathan-at-least/git-clone-canonical' [INFO ] repository path "/home/user/src/github.com/nathan-at-least/git-clone-canonical" [INFO ] creating parent directory "/home/user/src/github.com/nathan-at-least" [INFO ] cloning "https://github.com/nathan-at-least/git-clone-canonical" Cloning into 'git-clone-canonical'... remote: Enumerating objects: 58, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (58/58), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (34/34), done. remote: Total 58 (delta 17), reused 54 (delta 17), pack-reused 0 Receiving objects: 100% (58/58), 13.11 KiB | 2.62 MiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (17/17), done.

Fetching

If there is already a directory at the expected path, run git fetch instead:

$ git clone-canonical 'https://github.com/nathan-at-least/git-clone-canonical' [INFO ] repository path "/home/user/src/github.com/nathan-at-least/git-clone-canonical" [INFO ] fetching "https://github.com/nathan-at-least/git-clone-canonical" From https://github.com/nathan-at-least/git-clone-canonical * branch HEAD -> FETCH_HEAD

That's it.
