Owner-name repos

Advanced utility for managing names of your cloned repos from GitHub.

What is does?

Note: I don't really maintain this utility, but it's alive

This is the most comprehensive CLI to:

  • Rename repos to owner_repo-name template. Ex: vscode-eslint into microsoft_vscode-eslint.
  • If you recently renamed a lot repos on GitHub you can run update-names-from-github action (note that GITHUB_TOKEN env must be set with at least public_repo scope) to update local names of repos (all folders from cwd) to match GitHub repo names.

Philosophy

By default, git clone and even gh repo clone chooses the name for the directory just repo name, but if you need to clone (for some reason) forks of different people. And yes, I still prefer to clone every repo locally rather than work with them remotely.
