GetGit - Git Repository Setup Tool

A simple bash script that helps users set up SSH keys and clone repositories from a private git server.

Features

SSH Key Generation: Automatically generates SSH keys if they don't exist
Dynamic User Support: Works with any username on the git server
Repository Discovery: Automatically discovers available repositories for the user
Interactive Selection: Allows users to choose which repository to clone
Dotfiles Support: Special handling for dotfiles repositories with automatic setup execution

Usage

Make the script executable:
```
chmod +x setup.sh
```
Run the script:
```
./setup.sh
```
Follow the prompts:
- Enter your git username
- Generate SSH key (if needed)
- Add the SSH key to your git account
- Select which repository to clone

How It Works

1. Username Input

The script prompts for your git username, which is used to:

Discover available repositories
Construct repository URLs
Set up proper directory structure

2. SSH Key Management

Checks for existing SSH key (~/.ssh/id_ed25519)
Generates a new key if none exists
Displays the public key for copying to your git account

3. Repository Discovery

The script automatically checks for common repository patterns:

username/dotfiles
username/scripts
username/configs
username/tools
username/projects
username/notes
username/backup
username/workspace

4. Repository Selection

Users can:

Select from numbered list of discovered repositories
Press Enter to use username/dotfiles (if available)
Type custom to enter a custom repository path

5. Cloning and Setup

Clones the selected repository to the appropriate directory
For dotfiles repositories: runs setup.sh automatically
For other repositories: simply clones to ~/repository-name

Configuration

The script can be configured by modifying the settings at the top:

### === SETTINGS === ###
GIT_SERVER="git.del-c.net"  # Change to your git server

Directory Structure

Dotfiles: ~/.dotfiles/
Other repos: ~/repository-name/
