    cd ~/projects;
    git clone $1;
    reponame=$(basename $1);
    cd ${reponame/.git/};
}

repo

Description

Open the current repository in your default browser.

Code

function show-repo {
    git remote -v | grep origin | awk ' { print $2 }' | uniq | tr ':' '/' | sed "s|git\@|http://|"
}.
function repo {
    show-repo | xargs open
}

Example usage

npm-do

Description

Allows you to run locally installed npm packages without needing them to be installed globally.

Code

function npm-do {
  (PATH=$(npm bin):$PATH; eval $@;)
}

Example usage

# Show that webpack is installed as a dependency.
$ npm ls --depth=0
test@1.0.0 /Users/shaundonnelly/Desktop/test
└── webpack@2.6.1

# Try to run webpack without installing it globally first, doesn't work.
$ webpack
-bash: webpack: command not found

# Run webpack via `npm-do`, it now works as it's installed locally in the current project.
$ npm-do webpack
