Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your ❤️ and support.

Install

Install globally with npm

$ npm install --global gh-clone

CLI Usage

Clone a github repository:

$ gh-clone <repo> [options]

• repo - one or more space-separated repository names
• options options flags to pass to gh-clone

Examples

repository name

If the repository is a NPM package, you can pass the name only, and gh-clone will resolve the git URL from the library's package.json:

$ gh-clone isobject

owner/repo

Pass the github repository formatted as owner/repo:

$ gh-clone jonschlinkert/isobject

Options

Note that if the --dest flag is used when cloning multiple repositories, the name of each repository will be appended to the dest value.

Examples

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

destination

If you want to save to the foo directory

$ gh-clone jonschlinker/micromatch -d foo
