Speedy Google-Code Checkout

September 22nd, 2008

Here’s a handy bash shortcut for automatically checking out a google-code project.

# SVN ALIASES
export GOOGLE_CODE_CHECKOUTS="$HOME/Code/trunks"
gcco () {
    svn checkout http://$@.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ $GOOGLE_CODE_CHECKOUTS/$@
}

Update: You should use $HOME instead of ~, as the latter would create a ~ directory in your current working directory which can lead to dire results when you attempt to rm -rf ~ :(
