Git Clone utility - Clone repositories to organized directory structure.

The glon package provides a convenient CLI tool for cloning git repositories to an organized directory structure, as well as listing and managing your cloned projects.

• Easy Cloning: Clone git repositories with a single command
• Clipboard Integration: Clone directly from clipboard URLs
• Smart Opening: Open projects with clipboard auto-detection and auto-cloning
• Grab from Clipboard: Grab paths from clipboard (git URLs or local paths)
• List Projects: List all cloned projects with time-based filtering
• Open in IDE: Open projects directly in PyCharm, VSCode, and other IDEs
• Organized Structure: Projects organized by owner/repo structure

pip install glon

git clone https://github.com/tom-sapletta/glon.git
cd glon
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Clone using git URL
glon https://github.com/owner/repo.git

# Or clone from clipboard (copies URL to clipboard first)
glon

# Smart open - checks clipboard first, auto-clones if needed
glon open

# Copy a git URL to clipboard, then:
glon open                    # Auto-detects and opens the project

The grab command reads a path from clipboard and processes it:

# Grab from clipboard - detects if it's a git URL or local path
glon grab

# With options
glon grab --base-path ~/projects
glon grab --dry-run
glon grab --verbose

List all cloned projects in your base directory:

# List all projects
glon list
glon ls

# Filter by time
glon list "last week"
glon list "last month"
glon list "last year"
glon list 30  # last 30 days

# Verbose output with full paths
glon list --verbose
glon ls -v

Clone a git repository to the organized directory structure (default: ~/github):

glon <git-url>              # Clone from URL
glon clone <git-url>        # Same as above (explicit)
glon --dry-run <url>        # Show what would be done
glon --base-path ~/my-projects <url>  # Custom base path

Grab a path from clipboard:

glon grab                   # Read from clipboard and process
glon grab --verbose         # Show detailed output
glon grab --dry-run         # Preview without executing
glon grab --base-path ~/my-projects  # Custom output path

List all cloned projects:

glon list                   # List all projects
glon ls                     # Short alias
glon list "last week"       # Projects modified last week
glon list "last month"      # Projects modified last month
glon list "last year"       # Projects modified last year
glon list 30                # Projects modified last 30 days
glon list --verbose         # Show full paths and details
glon ls -v                  # Verbose output
glon list --base-path ~/my-projects  # Custom base path

Open a project in your IDE (PyCharm, VSCode, etc.):

# Open with clipboard priority - checks clipboard first for git URLs
glon open                    # Auto-detect from clipboard, or show project list

# Open specific project
glon open owner/repo        # Open in PyCharm (default)
glon open owner/repo --ide vscode    # Open in VS Code
glon open /full/path/to/project     # Open with full path
glon open ~/github/owner/repo       # Open with expanded path

# Open with different IDE
glon open --ide vscode              # Open clipboard-detected project in VS Code
glon open --ide idea                # Open in IntelliJ IDEA
glon open --ide webstorm            # Open in WebStorm
glon open --ide goland              # Open in GoLand
glon open --ide rider               # Open in Rider

Clipboard-Prioritized Opening: When glon open is called without arguments, it:

1. First checks clipboard for git URLs (SSH or HTTPS format)
2. If a git URL is found and the project exists locally, opens it immediately
3. If the project doesn't exist, clones it first then opens it
4. If no valid git URL is found, shows the available projects list
