Drop this somewhere in $PATH to make git clone-structured available.

Also, you can add this to your .bashrc to clone and cd into the directory in one command, e.g. clone <git-url>:

clone() {                                                                                              
  local dir                                                                                            
  dir=$(git clone-structured "$@") && cd "$dir"                                                        
}
