📦 version 0.5.3, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 git-prole-clone — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, this is git-prole-clone(1) from the General Commands Manual, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

git-prole-clone — clone a repository into a worktree checkout 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

git-prole clone [--log] [--dry-run] [--config] [-h|--help] <REPOSITORY>
[DIRECTORY] [CLONE_ARGS]

literally just look at it. it's giving "one command, many little flags" 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Clone a repository into a worktree checkout. that's the whole vibe ✨

okay but here's the cute part: if you have gh installed, and the URL looks gh-like, and it isn't an existing local path — I'll pass the repository URL to that. no cap, gh handles it 🙈

under the hood this is just a regular git clone followed by git prole convert. that's it. that's the tea ☕

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • --log=LOG [default: info] — log filter directives, of the form target[span{field=value}]=level, where all components except the level are optional. try debug or trace if you wanna see everything 👀. may also be specified with the GIT_PROLE_LOG environment variable 🧚
  • --dry-run — if set, do not perform any actions, and instead only construct and print a plan. icon behaviour honestly, look before you leap 💀
  • --config=CONFIG — the location to read the configuration file from. defaults to ~/.config/git-prole/config.toml 🍓
  • -h, --help — print help (see a summary with '-h'). short version for the girlies on the go ⭐
  • <REPOSITORY> — the repository URL to clone. the main character of this whole operation 👑
  • [DIRECTORY] — the directory to setup the worktrees in. defaults to the last component of the repository URL, with a trailing .git removed. so tidy, so demure 🌈
  • [CLONE_ARGS] — extra arguments to forward to git clone. your little extras, passed straight through 🫶
lowkey reminder: --dry-run means literally nothing happens except a plan gets printed. it's the safe little vibe check before you commit 💅

and that's the page!! this one came from the clone command, living in the General Commands Manual as git-prole-clone(1) — mwah, go clone something cute 💖🦋🎀
