git-src helps jumping around git repositories in your shell.
Usage: src <repo>: cd to a repository, cloning it if it is missing.
First you need to define a GIT_SRC_ROOT path. For example: $HOME/src.
From then on, git-src assumes that all your repository are located in
$HOME/src/<organization>/<owner>/<repo>. Same as Go workspaces.
For example: $HOME/src/github.com/pelletier/git-src.
git-src will clone (if necessary) and cd into any repository in that
structure, based on the provided <repo> argument and your current working
directory. Here are some examples:
# From anywhere, go to github.com/pelletier/git-src
$ src github.com/pelletier/git-src
# From anywhere within github.com/pelletier/
# Go to github.com/pelletier/foo
$ src foo
# From anywhere within github.com/
# Go to github.com/hello/world
$ src hello/world
By default, git-src also looks at other organization/owner if the repository cannot be
found before cloning. For example:
# Go to a repository named "foo" in any org/owner
$ src foo # => github.com/pelletier/foo
# From github.com/pelletier/hello
# If github.com/pelletier/world does not exist, look for a repository named "world" in
# any other org/owner. For example, assuming github.com/example/world exists:
$ src world # => github.com/example/world
You can turn off that behavior by exporting GIT_SRC_LOOK_OUTSIDE_OWNER=false.
- Get the latest git-src binary for your system.
- Rename the binary to
git-src. - Move it to somewhere on your
PATH. Make sure it is executable. - Add the following to your shell config (e.g.
.bashrc):
# src
function src {
new_path=$(git src $*)
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
cd ${new_path}
fi
}
