NAME
     git-grab - clone git repositories to a standard location

SYNOPSIS
     git-grab [-chnpV] URL ... [-- git arguments ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The git-grab utility clones git repositories to a standard location,

     Arguments for git may be supplied after --.

     The following options are available:

     -c, --clipboard
             Paste a URL to clone from the clipboard.

     --home  The directory to use as "grab home", where the URLs will be
             cloned into.  Overrides the GRAB_HOME environment variable if
             set.

     -p, --copy-path
             Copy the local destination path to clipboard after cloning.  If
             more than one URL is supplied the path of the last one is copied.

     -n, --dry-run
             Don't clone repositories, but print what would be done.

     -h, --help
             Display a help message and exit.

     -V, --version
             Display version information and exit.

             not set, ~/src is used.

     GRAB_COPY_PATH
             If set, copy the local destination path to the clipboard after
             cloning.  (equivalent to [--copy-path])
