clone-repo 1.0.1

CLI tool to clone repos easily

clone-repo: Easily clone repos

• Home
• PyPI

What is this?

For years I've been using a noddy script which clones many types of repos into a fixed location which is generated based on the repo itself. Similar to how go packages are cloned into go/src I typically clone my stuff into ~/src.

e.g. clone-repo [e-mail]:micktwomey/clone-repo.git will clone using git to ~/src/github.com/micktwomey/clone-repo.

This allows me to clone many different repos without worrying about stepping on each other. It also makes it easy to see where stuff comes from (e.g. rm -rf ~/src/old.git.example.com will wipe out clones from git server I don't use any more).

Install via pip install clone-repo.

Install with pipx using pipx install clone-repo to make it available as a CLI tool everywhere.

Supports:

• /path/to/repo
  • git clone to ~/src/localhost/file/{repo}
• file:///path/to/repo
  • git clone to ~/src/localhost/file/{repo}
• [e-mail]:org/repo.git
  • git clone to ~/src/{host}/{org}/{repo}
• https://github.com/org/repo.git
  • git clone to ~/src/github.com/{org}/{repo}
• https://github.com/org/repo
  • git clone to ~/src/github.com/{org}/{repo}
• https://gitlab.example.com/org/repo.git
  • git clone to ~/src/{host}/{org}/{repo}
• https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/
  • hg clone to ~/src/hg.mozilla.org/{org}/{repo}
• https://hg.sr.ht/~org/repo
  • hg clone to ~/src/hg.sr.ht/{org}/{repo}
• keybase://team/org/repo
  • git clone to ~/src/keybase/{org}/{repo}
• [e-mail]:~org/repo
  • git clone to ~/src/man.sr.ht/{org}/{repo}
• ssh://[e-mail]:7999/somegroup/myrepo.git
  • git clone to ~/src/{host}/{org}/{repo}
• ssh://[e-mail]/org/repo
  • hg clone to ~/src/{host}/{org}/{repo}

For https:// URLs the default is git but some will behave differently based on the domain.

Development

If you want to quickly develop you can use poetry and pytest:

1. poetry install
2. pytest -vv

If you want to test across all supported Python versions you can install them via asdf and then use nox:

1. asdf install
2. poetry install
3. nox

If you want to run pre-commit hooks before committing:

1. poetry install
2. pre-commit install

Finally, there is a just justfile to run some commands.
