git-fly

A command line tool to temporarily clone, run and open git repos on the fly.

To get started install git-fly globally:

npm install -g git-fly

Then run the command:

git-fly

git-fly asks for 3 things:

repo URL

(required) This is the URL of the repo to clone.

run command

(optional) The command to run after cloning the repo.

For example: http-server, npm start etc.

open command

(optional) The command to open the cloned repo directory.

For example: atom, open etc.

If a package.json file is detected, git-fly will offer to run npm install.

To skip the questions, you can pass options to git-fly:

    -r, --run [command]   run command
