Research Open Source

When researching open source code, use the local clones in vendor/ instead of searching the internet. The full source code is already on disk — there is no reason to fetch it remotely.

Check what's available

Before starting any research, check what repos are already cloned:

bash
ls ~/dev/olshell/vendor/
Currently available repos
RepoPath
reedlinevendor/reedline/
nushellvendor/nushell/
bashvendor/bash/
zshvendor/zsh/
fishvendor/fish/
PowerShellvendor/powershell/
elvishvendor/elvish/

Research workflow

  1. Identify which repo has the code you need. Check the vendor directory.
  2. Read the source directly. Use Grep, Glob, and Read tools on the local

clone. No web fetching needed.

  1. If the repo is not cloned yet, ask the user before cloning it. Do not

clone repos without confirmation.

Cloning a new repo

If research requires a repo that is not yet in vendor/:

  1. Ask the user if it is OK to clone the repo into vendor/.
  2. Clone it: git clone <url> vendor/<name>/
  3. The vendor/.gitignore already ignores all contents.

Never clone without user approval.
