GIT-GET(1)

✨ GIT-GET ✨

okay bestie, say hi to git-get from the Git Extras fam — it clones a Git repo straight into a directory you already told it about 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS

git-get <url>

that's it. one argument. no notes. periodt ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION

So basically, git-get clones a Git repository under whichever directory you've set in your Git config, key git-extras.get.clone-path 🎀

You set the path once, and then every git get <url> drops the repo right there. It's giving "organized queen" energy and we are obsessed 👑

---

💅 EXAMPLES

First, tell Git where you want your clones to live:

$ git config --add git-extras.get.clone-path "$HOME/some-dir"

Then go get your repo:

$ git get 'https://github.com/hyperupcall/bake'
Cloning into '/home/<user>/some-dir/bake'...

look at that progress output. immaculate. no cap 🔥
