The cloning process with the command git clone command command may seem simple at first, but when you're managing several Gitrepositories, it can quickly become complex. This is even truer when working with repository forks. The ghq tool simplifies this management by centralising repositories in a specific location on your machine.

Let's say you want to work with dotfiles and you get a dotfiles with the command ghq get https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles.git. And now you want to work on your dotfilesThere's no need to think about where you're going to clone your project, just run ghq get https://github.com/badele/dotfiles.git. After running this command, the project structure will be clearly organised in your ghq.

What's more, when collaborating in teams involving the sharing of scripts using cloned projects, it is not necessary to specify specific paths such as /usr/local/nosprojets/xxx“.. For example, all you need to do is export a variable, such as TEAM_PROJECT=~/ghqfor the whole team and use this reference in your scripts. For example, you could use $TEAM_PROJECT/mateam/myproject/bin/monexecutable in your scripts, ensuring consistent access to shared resources.
