destroy your local copy of a git repo, and reclone it from your remote.

![Screencast](http://i.imgur.com/HIvZCJB.gif)

tested and works well for:

    - github

    - bitbucket

## setup

    [sudo] gem install git-reclone

This will enable the `git reclone` command automatically!

## usage

    git reclone

reclones from the first git remote. to clone a specific remote, specify some

part (or all) of the host name. for example:

    git reclone bit

    git reclone bucket

    git reclone bitbucket

will all overwrite the current repository with bitbucket's remote (assuming

that some other host/repo name doesn't also match 'bitbucket').

## about

sometimes i mess up git histories, with (merges or rebasing, etc), and it

becomes more of a headache to figure out how to undo what i did than to just

reclone the remote copy and apply the changes i want in the right way. i was

doing this often enough that i figured it would be nice to have a tool that

just did this automatically. besides, it can be satisfying to just reclone your

local copy and start anew - after all, what are backups meant for?

## testing

    bundle || gem install bundler && bundle

    rake # running git-reclone's tests
