git + lab = gitlab
lab is a command line tool that wrap git in order to extend it with extra features and commands that make working with GitLab easier.
$ git lab clone numa08/dejiko
# extends to:
$ git clone git://${gitlab.url}/numa08/dejiko.git
Installation
Mac OS X
Install go-lang (if not already installed)
$ brew install go
When go-lang is installed:
$ brew install libgit2
$ go get gopkg.in/libgit2/git2go.v23
$ go get github.com/plouc/go-gitlab-client
$ go get github.com/codegangsta/cli
Execute from within the git-gitlab repository clone
$ make build
Finally, move build/git-lab somewhere in $PATH.
Note
OSX El Capitan users may encounter the following error
could not determine kind of name for C.GIT_CHECKOUT_SAFE_CREATE
when running
$ go get gopkg.in/libgit2/git2go.v22
This is because libgit v0.23.x was installed. You need 0.22.x. See libgit2/git2go#181 (comment) for more information.
Archlinux
There is an aur package called git-gitlab.
