Remote Repo Research Setup

Acerca de

Researching external codebases often results in a mess of local clones and scattered notes. This skill provides a standardized workflow for studying GitHub repositories by automatically creating a hierarchical workspace. It separates a version-controlled 'notes' directory for your insights and architecture diagrams from a gitignored 'code' directory for the cloned source. With built-in support for Git worktrees and automatic .gitignore configuration, it ensures your documentation remains persistent across your project while keeping your repository clean from large external dependencies.

Características Principales

• Smart separation of persistent markdown notes and gitignored source code
• Automatic .gitignore updates to prevent external code from bloating your repository
• Automated workspace creation with standardized directory structures
• Integrated shell script for quick parsing and cloning of GitHub URLs
• Git worktree awareness to share cloned code across multiple feature branches
• 1 GitHub stars

Casos de Uso

• Studying example code or reference implementations for API integration
• Building a knowledge base of external tools and frameworks within a specific project
• Analyzing a third-party library's architecture to inform internal design decisions
