Because I work on a lot of different projects spread across a lot of accounts at multiple git hosting providers, I try to keep my code folder in some semblance of order by having subfolders for things.
A while ago, I decided to make things even simpler by letting the git repos I was cloning dictate where they should live. I took inspiration from the way go expects you to organise your code.
Today, I decided to apply the three virtues and wrote some code to handle this for me.
Introducing git-get
git-get is an opinionated git command that helps you keep your code folder in order.
You use git-get as a replacement for git clone and it will decide where your code should live :)
git get https://github.com/stilvoid/git-get
Cloning into '/home/steve/code/github.com/stilvoid/git-get'...
Laziness is the primary virtue.
