git-repo-clone (grc)

The correct way to clone a git repository

What is grc?

Git Repo Clone is a tool that leverages the power of fuzzy finding with searches on the Github API. This allows for finding the exact repository you're looking for even if you don't know the exact name of the repo or owner and then fuzzing finding on those results.

    grc [OPTIONS] [ARGS] [SUBCOMMAND]

ARGS:
    <repository>     The repository name to search for

    -p, --path <path>                   The full path to the parent folder to clone into
    -V, --version                       Print version information
