# cl

`cl` clones git repositories into nested folders like [GOPATH](https://golang.org/doc/gopath_code#Workspaces) and outputs the path of the cloned directory. Example:

```

cl https://github.com/foo/bar

```

Is roughly equivalent to:

```

git clone https://github.com/foo/bar ~/src/github.com/foo/bar

cd ~/src/github.com/foo/bar

```

You can install `cl` as a [binary release](https://github.com/felixge/cl/releases) or using Go:

```

go install github.com/felixge/cl@latest

```

In order for the example above to work, you'll need to configure a bash function in your profile that specifies your preferred installation `-dir` and changes into the cloned directory on success:

```

cl() {

  cloned=$(command cl -dir "$GOPATH/src" "$1")

  cd "$cloned"

}

```

After that any of the following commands can be used to clone a repo and change into its directory:

```

cl https://github.com/foo/bar.git

cl https://github.com/foo/bar

cl [email protected]:foo/bar.git

```

Without the bash function, you would have to use a slightly more verbose command:

```

cd $(cl -dir ~/src https://github.com/foo/bar)

```
