Git Directory Changer

A small cross‑platform helper that clones all repositories into your preferred folder. Set it once, then use a single command to clone into that folder every time.

Features

• Set a default folder for all Git repositories
• Works on Windows (PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (bash/zsh)
• Provides gclone and gloco convenience commands
• Provides gdc menu with ASCII UI and docs shortcut
• Persists across terminal sessions

Install

Windows (PowerShell)

git clone https://github.com/terminalskid/git-directory-changer.git
cd git-directory-changer
.\install.ps1

Enter a default folder when prompted (e.g. D:\GitRepos). The installer places wrappers in %USERPROFILE%\.gitloc\bin and adds that directory to PATH.

Linux / macOS (bash or zsh)

git clone https://github.com/terminalskid/git-directory-changer.git
cd git-directory-changer
bash install.sh

Enter a default folder when prompted (default ~/GitRepos). The installer places wrappers in ~/.gitloc/bin and appends that directory to PATH in your shell rc file.

Usage

• Clone into the default folder:

gclone https://github.com/username/repo.git

• Show the current default folder:

gloco

• Set or change the default folder:

git-loc set /path/to/folder

• Reset configuration:

git-loc reset

- Launch the ASCII menu:

gdc

- Open docs directly:

git-loc docs

Notes

• Requires Python. The installers detect python3/python on Unix and py/python on Windows.
• Commands become available in new shells after installation; the installer also updates PATH for the current session.
