gh-get v2.3.0 Released

I just released gh-get v2.3.0. gh-get is a GitHub CLI extension that clones repositories into a structured folder layout under ~/github/<owner>/<repo>, similar to ghq.

Here is what is new in this release.

Better Fork Workflow

The --fork flag was introduced in v2.2.0 and let you fork a repository before cloning. That release cloned your fork into ~/github/<your-username>/<repo>, which meant the clone lived under your username rather than the original owner’s.

This release changes that. When you fork a repository, gh-get now clones the original into the canonical location ~/github/<owner>/<repo>. It then renames origin to upstream and adds your fork as origin.

So after running:

gh get --fork britter/gh-get

You end up with a clone at ~/github/britter/gh-get where:

• origin points to your fork
• upstream points to the original repository

This is the remote setup most contributors use when working on open source projects, and now gh-get sets it up automatically.

Upgrade

If you already have gh-get installed, run:

gh extension upgrade get

The full list of changes is in the changelog.
