Introduction

This Bash script accepts the name of a private repository and clones it into the current folder... because I am too lazy setting up ssh.

Setup

1. Add Your GitHub Token and Username:

   • Open clonme.sh and add your private GitHub token in the GITHUB_TOKEN variable.
   • Add your GitHub username in the YOUR_USERNAME variable.

   GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token_here"
   YOUR_USERNAME="your_github_username_here"

2. Make the Script Executable:

   • Change the permissions of the script to make it executable.

chmod +x clonme.sh

3. Move the Script to /usr/local/bin:
   • Move the script to a directory that is included in your PATH, such as /usr/local/bin, and rename it to remove the .sh suffix.

sudo mv clonme.sh /usr/local/bin/clonme

4. Source Your .bashrc:
   • Ensure your .bashrc is sourced to update the PATH.

source ~/.bashrc

Usage:

You can now use the script by simply typing:

clonme <name_of_your_repository>
