Lately I have found myself cloning repos to my desktop to work on new features. I would rather have all of my Github stuff in my ~/Documents/Github folder, but temporarily link the ones I'm currently working on to my desktop.

Cloner is a simple script which does just that. Rather than using git clone <repo>, you use the cloner tool cloner <repo> and it automatically clones to the set Github folder and creates a symbolic link to the desktop.

Probably not a useful script for anyone else but me 🤷‍♂️ but oh well!

usage: cloner [-h] [--github <path>] [--desktop <path>] repo

Script to clone repos into my github folder, and also symbolically link to the
desktop.

positional arguments:
  repo              Repository to clone.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help        show this help message and exit
  --github <path>   Path to your Github folder.
  --desktop <path>  Path to your Desktop folder.

Installation is made easy using pip!

git clone https://github.com/rhthomas/cloner.git
cd cloner
pip3 install .
