git-flow-clone

Clone a git repo with support for the gitflow branching model.

git flow clone [-p] <repo> [<dir>]

Everyone who ever clones a git repo that uses the gitflow model will immediately
want to:

• setup a remote tracking “develop” and “master” branches
• initialize the repository as a Gitflow repo

Installation

Working on a homebrew installation. Otherwise

$ make install

Example

$ git flow clone git@hostname.example.com:projectname
Cloning into 'projectname'...
...
Branch develop set up to track remote branch develop from origin.
Using default branch names.
...
Gitflow repo cloned to projectname
$ cd projectname
$ git branch
* develop
  master

Todo

Let me know how it’s working for you.
