• 📦 Smart Clone — Clone repositories with automatic SSH host alias rewriting. Supports standard URLs (git@, https://) and short syntax (user/repo)
• 🚀 Quick Init — Initialize new repos with pre-configured identity
• ⚙️ Local Config — Automatically sets user.name and user.email per repository
• 📡 Connection Testing — Verify SSH connections for your profiles

Installation

From npm

npm install -g haia

From Source

git clone https://github.com/syam-fh/haia.git
cd haia
npm install
npm link

Quick Start

1. Configure Your First Profile

haia config

You'll be prompted to enter:

• Profile name (e.g., "Work", "Personal")
• Git username
• Git email
• SSH Host alias (e.g., github.com-work)

2. Set Up SSH Config

Make sure your ~/.ssh/config matches your profile's SSH host alias:

# Work GitHub
Host github.com-work
    HostName github.com
    User git
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_work

# Personal GitHub
Host github.com-personal
    HostName github.com
    User git
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_personal

3. Clone with Identity

You can use the full URL or the short user/repo syntax:

# Short syntax (GitHub) - Automatically uses your profile's SSH host
haia clone my-org/backend-api

# Standard URL
haia clone [email protected]:my-org/backend-api.git

Select your profile, and Haia will:

1. Rewrite the URL to use your SSH host alias (e.g., [email protected]:my-org/backend-api.git)
2. Clone the repository
3. Configure local user.name and user.email
