npm-git-clone-no-history v1.0.0

Git Clone No History

An npm script to clone a repository and reset the git history. This is done by removing the .git directory and then re-initializing a new git repository in the downloaded directory.

Usage:

Invoke the cli executable using either of the two commands:

• gcnh
• git-clone-no-history

The command takes two or three arguments:

1. <repo-url> Url to the git repository
2. <repo-branch> OPTIONAL: Name of repository branch to clone
3. <dir-name> Name of directory to clone the branch to

Example Usage:

# Clone the "py-project" repository into the "myDirectory" directory
gcnh git@github.com:username/my-project.git myDirectory

# Clone the "second-branch" branch from the "my-project" repository into the "myDirectory" directory
gcnh git@github.com:username/my-project.git second-branch myDirectory

Options:

Use the -h or --help options after the command to print out a help message in the terminal.

# Prints out help message for the CLI application
gcnh -h
