ghq

• ghq

  • Go CLI that clones and organizes remote Git repositories under a predictable directory layout (“remote repository management made easy”).
  • Configuration lives in git/.gitconfig (ghq.root, host-specific paths, etc.) rather than a separate project config file.
  • Installable via Brew (brew "ghq"); listed in Person/lv416e/GitHub/dotfiles dot_Brewfile.tmpl.

  • Basic use

    • With ghq how can you synchronize or fetch a repo? Card

      • Run ghq get --update to fetch and update all tracked repos under ghq.root.
      • Or ghq get <url> to clone a specific remote repository.

    • With ghq, how can you find the path to the directory that all repos are found underneath? Card

      • Run ghq/root.

    • Person/codekiln/GitHub/sourcer — similar problem space (canonical clone paths, get / list workflows); sourcer was not published after finding ghq. ghq is Go and git-config-driven; sourcer sketches were Rust with an explicit allow-list config file.
