if GIT_DEFAULT_REMOTE environmental variable has been set
a list of repositories within this path is displayed and can be cloned by name.

Name of repo to clone, leave blank to display a list of available repo names. Also accepted is the url or complete filepath to a repo to clone (identified if containing '/'). |
to |
Local path to create local project folder in, defaults to home directory |
Details
Running repo_name="" will print a list of valid repositories found at the
GIT_DEFAULT_REMOTE path, and can then be re-run with one of these names to
clone a local version. This is to make basic on-premises collaboration and backups
more effortless. GIT_DEFAULT_REMOTE can be set in .Renviron file as per ?git_remote
Other repositories can be cloned as expected by giving a URL. Credentials are handled
automatically in the same way as ?git_push.
