Git subcommands for interacting with central services¶
Many central git hosting services, such as GitHub and GitLab, provide an API to perform actions such as creating repositories and filing pull requests. git-spindle is a collection of git subcommands to make using these services easier.
For example, to fork and clone a repository on GitHub, one can now simply use:
git hub clone seveas/whelk
