Command Line Interface

Desktop Plus includes a CLI that lets you open repositories and clone them directly from the terminal.

Usage

desktop-plus-cli                           Open the current directory
desktop-plus-cli open [path]               Open the provided path
desktop-plus-cli clone [-b branch] <url>   Clone a repository by URL or name/owner (e.g. torvalds/linux)

Creating a shorter alias

If you find desktop-plus-cli too long to type, you can create a shorter alias in your shell (e.g. github-plus, or even just github to match the upstream CLI name).

Examples below create an alias called dp-cli for the CLI. You can replace dp-cli with your preferred alias.

Windows (PowerShell)

Add this line to your PowerShell profile (open it with notepad $PROFILE):

Set-Alias dp-cli desktop-plus-cli

macOS / Linux (Bash or Zsh)

Add this line to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

alias dp-cli='desktop-plus-cli'

macOS / Linux (Fish)

Run once:

alias --save dp-cli desktop-plus-cli
