## Installation
```bash
cargo (b)install gitnow
2024-09-23 22:37:08 +02:00
# You can either use gitnow directly (and use spawned shell sessions)
gitnow
# Or install gitnow scripts (in your .bashrc, .zshrc) this will use native shell commands to move you around
eval $(gitnow init zsh)
git-now # Long
gn # Short alias

How many steps do you normally do to download a project?

1. Navigate to github.com
2. Search in your org for the project
3. Find the clone url
4. Navigate to your local github repositories path
5. Git clone `<project>`
6. Enter new project directory
A power user can of course use `gh repo clone` to skip a few steps.
With gitnow
1. `git now`
2. Enter parts of the project name and press enter
3. Your project is automatically downloaded if it doesn't exist in an opinionated path dir, and move you there.
