Git Now

Git Now is a utility for easily navigating git projects from common upstream providers. Search, Download, and Enter projects as quickly as you can type.

Installation

cargo (b)install gitnow

# You can either use gitnow directly (and use spawned shell sessions)
gitnow

# Or install gitnow scripts (in your .bashrc, .zshrc) this will use native shell commands to move you around
eval $(gitnow init zsh)
git-now # Long 
gn # Short alias

Reasoning

How many steps do you normally do to download a project?

1. Navigate to github.com
2. Search in your org for the project
3. Find the clone url
4. Navigate to your local github repositories path
5. Git clone <project>
6. Enter new project directory

A power user can of course use gh repo clone to skip a few steps.

With gitnow

1. git now
2. Enter parts of the project name and press enter
3. Your project is automatically downloaded if it doesn't exist in an opinionated path dir, and move you there.
