Launchpad Fork

Clone and create forks of Launchpad repos.

Usage

All that is necessary is to provide the url to the git repo the user wishes to fork:

lp-fork https://git.launchpad.net/curtin

Accepts URLs in the form of:

• https://git.launchpad.net/curtin
• git+ssh://$LP_USER@git.launchpad.net/curtin
• lp:curtin
• lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu

The "lp:" shortcut can be setup in the user's .gitconfig by adding the following:

[url "git+ssh://powersj@git.launchpad.net/"]
    insteadof = lp:

The "git://" URLs are not supported.

Remotes

After creating the fork the user will be left with the origin set to the original upstream location and a $LP_USER remote for the fork. Here is an example:

$ lp-fork lp:curtin
