URL as a Command

When I enter a git repo url in terminal it says:

Code:

% https://github.com/chmln/sd.git        

zsh: no such file or directory: https://github.com/chmln/sd.git

I want https://github.com/chmln/sd.git to act as a command which will

Code:

git clone https://github.com/chmln/sd.git

cd sd

How can I do that?

I tried preexec hook.

Code:

preexec () { 

    print ">>>preexec start<<<"

    # print -l ${(qqq)@}



    if  [[ ${(qqq)@} =~ ^https.* ]]

    then

    echo URL

    fi

    print ">>>preexec end<<<"



}

The output is

Code:

% https://github.com/chmln/sd.git

>>>preexec start<<<

>>>preexec end<<<

zsh: no such file or directory: https://github.com/chmln/sd.git

The code that is working is

Code:

preexec () { 

    print ">>>preexec start<<<"



    if  [[ $@[1] =~ ^https.*git ]]

    then

        git clone $@[1] && cd "$(basename $@[1] .git)"

    else 

    echo did not match

    fi

    print ">>>preexec end<<<"



}

However, there is a little annoyance.

Code:

% https://github.com/chmln/sd.git

>>>preexec start<<<

Cloning into 'sd'...

>>>preexec end<<<

zsh: no such file or directory: https://github.com/chmln/sd.git

You can see that the message zsh: no such file or directory: https://github.com/chmln/sd.git is still there.

I got a solution where it uses

Code:

function command_not_found_handle {

        if [[ "$1" =~ "^(https|http|git|(git\\+)?ssh)://.*\$" ]]; then

                echo "Do something: $1"

                return 1

        else

                return 0

        fi

}

But in my zsh the error message (no such file or directory...) does not seem to be handled by this handler.

I am guessing this because, I used

Code:

if [[ -x /usr/lib/command-not-found ]] ; then

        if (( ! ${+functions[command_not_found_handler]} )) ; then

                function command_not_found_handler {

                        echo "The following command is not valid: \""$1\"""

                        [[ -x /usr/lib/command-not-found ]] || return 1

                        /usr/lib/command-not-found -- ${1+"$1"} && :

                }

        fi

fi

But The following command is not valid: is not shown before the line zsh: no such file or directory:

Code:

function _accept-line-with-url {



    if  [[ $BUFFER =~ ^https.*git ]]

    then

        # zle -U "git clone $BUFFER && cd \"$(basename $BUFFER .git)\""



        printf "\n"

        git clone $BUFFER && cd "$(basename $BUFFER .git)"



        zle kill-whole-line

        zle .accept-line

    else 

        zle .accept-line

    fi

    

}



zle -N accept-line _accept-line-with-url

If you want to execute git with a URL as the argument just do that.
The shell is always going to report "no such file" for a URL unless you have an actual file named sd.gin in a directory named chmln in a directory named github.com in a directory named https:

Something like this in a file name rungit:

Code:

#!/bin/zsh

git $1

cd sd

then

Code:

rungit https://github.com/chmln/sd.git

Use the code in my last post and put it in your .zshrc

Alhamdulillah, it is actually working now.
