git-clone(1) repositories into a pre-determined directory structure.
Using the -n flag for demonstration:
% clone -n git@github.com:user/repository
git clone git@github.com:/user/repository /home/user/src/github.com/user/repository
or
% pwd
/home/user/src/github.com/user
% clone -n another-repository
git clone git@github.com:/user/another-repository /home/user/src/github.com/user/antother-repository
It is recommended to set the CDPATH environment variable to the different
hosts you have repositories from. This allows for quick access and quick cloning
due to the known directory structure of clone(1).
% CDPATH=$HOME/src/github.com
% cd user
~/src/github.com/user
% clone -n repository
git clone git@github.com:/user/repository /home/user/src/github.com/user/repository
# make install
% nix-env -i -f .
% man clone
