clone.sh

a_small_note.md

This let's me git clone a template repo, cd into and fire up a new template in my editor of choice:

$ clone starter # clones https://github.com/addyosmani/starter (a personal boilerplate)

$ clone h5bp html5-boilerplate # get me HTML5 Boilerplate

$ clone angular angular-seed # same for AngularJS seed

$ clone polymerlabs seed-element # same for a new Polymer element

No dependencies involved at all. Easy to add a mkdir step to this so you can do new h5bp, new boilerplate etc.

# A better git clone
# clones a repository, cds into it, and opens it in my editor.

function clone {
  # customize username to your own 
  local username="addyosmani"

  local url=$1;
  local repo=$2;

  if [[ ${url:0:4} == 'http' || ${url:0:3} == 'git' ]]

    # just clone this thing.
    repo=$(echo $url | awk -F/ '{print $NF}' | sed -e 's/.git$//');
  elif [[ -z $repo ]]
