bibstha / dev

Opinionated command line tool similar to the internal tool at Shopify

dev

An opinionated command to clone and change directory locally. Inspired from the dev command used at Shopify.

Supports dev clone and dev cd.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/bibstha/dev
cd dev
go build
cp dev ~/bin # copy dev binary to $PATH

Add scripts/dev.fish to your fish config file.

# Path: ~/.config/fish/config.fish 
if test -f ~/path/to/dev/scripts/dev.fish
  source ~/path/to/dev/scripts/dev.fish
end

Note that it is lacking support for bash or zsh but that should be easy to add. 

Usage

dev clone

Clones a repository from github.

The root folder is hardcoded as ~/src/github.com. All projects are cloned inside this folder in the ~/src/github.com/username/projectname format.

The following command will clone https://github.com/rails/rails to ~/src/github.com/rails/rails folder.

dev clone rails/rails

dev cd

Easily cd into the right directory inside ~/src/github.com/. It uses a fuzzy finder to find the best match for given name.

For example, given multiple folders below, it picks the right folder.

~ $ tree -L 2 ~/src/github.com
/home/bibek/src/github.com
├── bibstha
│   ├── dev
│   ├── dotfiles
│   ├── project1
│   ├── project2
│   └── project3
└── rails
    └── rails

~ $ dev cd proj1 # picks bibstha/project1
~/s/g/b/project1 $ pwd
/home/bibek/src/github.com/bibstha/project1

~/s/g/b/project1 $ dev cd rail
~/s/g/r/rails $ pwd
/home/bibek/src/github.com/rails/rails

As you can see, proj1 correctly points to project1 and rail points to rails/rails.
