src script

A convenience script to for rapidly switching context between different git repositories.

Installation

Assuming /usr/local/bin is in your PATH, you can install it by running:

curl --create-dirs -o "/usr/local/bin/src" https://raw.githubusercontent.com/samsalisbury/home/master/bin/src && chmod +x "/usr/local/bin/src"

Usage Examples

Clone github.com/samsalisbury/home if needed and print the directory where it was cloned. (If it’s already cloned just print the directory.)

$ src github.com/samsalisbury/home

---

Clone if needed and cd into the directory:

$ cd "$(src github.com/samsalisbury/home)"

---

Clone if needed and open a new tmux pane in the clone directory. (Only works if running inside tmux of course.):

$ src -t github.com/samsalisbury/home

---

Because there is a default host set to github.com, you can also just use samsalisbury/home in place of github.com/samsalisbury/home in the examples above.

---

Because there is a default username, mine currently set to hashicorp you can also omit the username for cloning repos from that user, e.g.: src -t vault is equivalent to src -t hashicorp/vault is equivalent to src -t github.com/hashicorp/vault.
