== NAME



ghq - Manage remote repository clones



== DESCRIPTION



'ghq' provides a way to organize remote repository clones, like +go get+ does. When you clone a remote repository by +ghq get+, ghq makes a directory under a specific root directory (by default +~/ghq+) using the remote repository URL's host and path.



    $ ghq get https://github.com/x-motemen/ghq

    # Runs `git clone https://github.com/x-motemen/ghq ~/ghq/github.com/x-motemen/ghq`



You can also list local repositories (+ghq list+).



== SYNOPSIS



[verse]

ghq get [-u] [-p] [--shallow] [--vcs ] [--look] [--silent] [--branch] [--no-recursive] [--bare] |//|/|

ghq list [-p] [-e] []

ghq create [--vcs ] |//|/|

ghq rm [--dry-run] |//|/|

ghq root [--all]



== COMMANDS



get::

    Clone a remote repository under ghq root directory (see

    <> below). `ghq clone` is an alias for this command.

    If the repository is

    already cloned to local, nothing will happen unless '-u' ('--update')

    flag is supplied, in which case the local repository is updated ('git pull --ff-only' eg.).

    When you use '-p' option, the repository is cloned via SSH protocol. +

    If there are multiple +ghq.root+ s, existing local clones are searched

    first. Then a new repository clone is created under the primary root if

    none is found. +

    With '--shallow' option, a "shallow clone" will be performed (for Git

    repositories only, 'git clone --depth 1 ...' eg.). Be careful that a

    shallow-cloned repository cannot be pushed to remote.

    Currently Git and Mercurial repositories are supported. +

    With '--branch' option, you can clone the repository with specified

    branch. This option is currently supported for Git, Mercurial,

    Subversion and git-svn. +

    The 'ghq' gets the git repository recursively by default. +

    We can prevent it with '--no-recursive' option.

    With '--bare' option, a "bare clone" will be performed (for Git

    repositories only, 'git clone --bare ...' eg.).



list::

    List locally cloned repositories. If a query argument is given, only

    repositories whose names contain that query text are listed. '-e'

    ('--exact') forces the match to be an exact one (i.e. the query equals to

    _project_, _user_/_project_ or _host_/_user_/_project_)

    If '-p' ('--full-path') is given, the full paths to the repository root are

    printed instead of relative ones.



root::

    Prints repositories' root (i.e. `ghq.root`). Without '--all' option, the

    primary one is shown.



rm::

    Remove local repository. If '--dry-run' option is given, the repository is not actually removed but the path to it is printed.



create::

    Creates new repository.



== CONFIGURATION



Configuration uses 'git-config' variables.



ghq.root::

    The path to directory under which cloned repositories are placed. See

    <> below. Defaults to +~/ghq+. +

    This variable can have multiple values. If so, the last one becomes

    primary one i.e. new repository clones are always created under it. You may

    want to specify "$GOPATH/src" as a secondary root (environment variables

    should be expanded.)



ghq..vcs::

    ghq tries to detect the remote repository's VCS backend for non-"github.com"

    repositories.  With this option you can explicitly specify the VCS for the

    remote repository. The URL is matched against '' using 'git config --get-urlmatch'. +

    Accepted values are "git", "github" (an alias for "git"), "subversion",

    "svn" (an alias for "subversion"), "git-svn", "mercurial", "hg" (an alias for "mercurial"),

    "darcs", "fossil", "bazaar", and "bzr" (an alias for "bazaar"). +

    To get this configuration variable effective, you will need Git 1.8.5 or higher.



ghq..root::

    The "ghq" tries to detect the remote repository-specific root directory. With this option,

    you can specify a repository-specific root directory instead of the common ghq root directory. +

    The URL is matched against '' using 'git config --get-urlmatch'.



=== Example configuration (.gitconfig):



....

[ghq "https://git.example.com/repos/"]

vcs = git

root = ~/myproj

....



== ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES



GHQ_ROOT::

    If set to a path, this value is used as the only root directory regardless

    of other existing ghq.root settings.



== [[directory-structures]]DIRECTORY STRUCTURES



Local repositories are placed under 'ghq.root' with named github.com/_user_/_repo_.



....

~/ghq

|-- code.google.com/

|   `-- p/

|       `-- vim/

`-- github.com/

    |-- google/

    |   `-- go-github/
