Can you add the feature to call the script from the bash without the need to clone the repo.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdushantha/gitdir/master/gitdir/gitdir -O ~/bin/gitdir && chmod u+x ~/bin/gitdir; # ;)

@jasteele12 That works very well!

@MohamedAliRashad
If you have pip installed, then you can do this:

pip install --user gitdir

Then you run gitdir like a normal command :)

@sdushantha
I tried using this solution on colab but it raised this error.

/bin/bash: gitdir: command not found
sdushantha commented

@MohamedAliRashad
If you installed it with this command:

pip install --user gitdir

Then the script should be located in $HOME/.local/bin/
Also, you might need to add $HOME/.local/bin/ to your PATH in your .bashrc
Like this:

export PATH=$PATH":$HOME/.local/bin"

Didn't work also ....

@MohamedAliRashad Are you on MacOS or Linux?
I have had a similar problem before on my MacOS laptop and the only way I was able to run scripts installed with pip, was to run the script like this:

$ #python3 -m ModuleNameHere
$ python3 -m gitdir

If the above solution works for you, then you could make an alias so that you dont have to write the very long command.

# Add this to .bashrc
alias gitdir=python3 -m gitdir

# Then you will be able to run this from anywhere
$ gitdir

If you are on Linux, I dont really know what the problem might be, you could try the solution above and see if it works with Linux. Ive been using Linux daily and have never encountered a problem like this.

@sdushantha
I am trying to use this on colab and still gives me the same error.

it works on my local machine like a charm but it just doesn't want to work on my notebook.

/usr/bin/python3: No module named gitdir

@MohamedAliRashad I am really sorry, but I have no idea why this is happening.

When you find a solution, please share it :)

@MohamedAliRashad It looks like it must be a environment issue. I am going to close this issue, just to keep everything clean, but please let me know when you find fix :)
