# Readme.md

auto-clone.sh

Clone repos when they appear in the system clipboard!

Jump to main content

Usage

Run auto-clone.sh from a root folder you would like to put repos under.

In Windows, I do this from my quake-con Terminal hidden mostly behind the key combo Win+~.

As you browse about, when a GitHub repo URL shows up in your clipboard, the script pastes, and clones!

Bonus Features

Self-test mode! (for the author)

./auto-run.sh --self-test

Check a case, fix the test, push the Gist.
