gitz

gitz extends Git with extra commands that make it easier to work with multiple hosting platforms simultaneously — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or your own corporate Git server.

Why gitz?

If you store your code organized by domain and path, like this:

~/Projects/
  github.com/
    myorg/
      myrepo/
  gitlab.com/
    anotherorg/
      anotherrepo/
  git.corp.example.com/
    team/
      project/

...then gitz automates the tedious part: instead of manually creating directories and cloning into them, a single command does it all.

Commands

create

Clones a repository into an automatically created directory based on the repository's domain and path.

gitz create https://github.com/pahanini/gitz
# Clones into ~/Projects/github.com/pahanini/gitz

gitz create git@gitlab.com:myorg/myrepo.git
# Clones into ~/Projects/gitlab.com/myorg/myrepo

gitz create https://git.corp.example.com/team/project.git
# Clones into ~/Projects/git.corp.example.com/team/project

Configuration

Environment variable	Default	Description
GITZ_HOME	~/Projects	Base directory for cloned repositories

brew install gitz

From source

Requires Rust.

Usage

gitz passes all unrecognized commands directly to git, so you can use it as a drop-in replacement:

gitz status
gitz log --oneline
gitz push origin main
