Launchpad Fork
Clone and create forks of Launchpad repos.
Usage
All that is necessary is to provide the url to the git repo the user wishes to fork:
lp-fork https://git.launchpad.net/curtinAccepts URLs in the form of:
- https://git.launchpad.net/curtin
- git+ssh://$LP_USER@git.launchpad.net/curtin
- lp:curtin
- lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu
The "lp:" shortcut can be setup in the user's .gitconfig by adding the following:
[url "git+ssh://powersj@git.launchpad.net/"]
insteadof = lp:The "git://" URLs are not supported.
Remotes
After creating the fork the user will be left with the origin set to the original upstream location and a $LP_USER remote for the fork. Here is an example:
$ lp-fork lp:curtin
