+Fuzzy clone is a tool that I've used in a variety of incarnations, I've finally
+sat down and actually wrote a separate utility for it.
+
+[fuzzy-clone](https://github.com/kjuulh/fuzzy-clone)
+
+It exists to solve one problem, and one problem only. Quickly clone, and jump to
+git repositories you collaborate to.
+
+This gif should better display why this is so useful
+

+
+Do note that `,` is my alias for it `fz` is the actual command. The fully
+qualified name is `fuzzy-clone`.
+
+To get started simply:
+
+```
+brew install kjuulh/brew/fuzzy-clone
+echo 'eval "$(fuzzy-clone init zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc
+fz
+```
+
+or follow the other options in the github repo.
+
+## Why I can't live without it anymore
+
+This might be a bit `ananas i egen juice` (self gratification), but the
+alternative is horrid. I don't always remember the name of the repo I want to
+clone even if I've written it myself at some point.
+
+1. Go to https://github.com
+2. Click repositories, because the homepage search, doesn't always show all the
+   repos I contribute to, or is a member of
+3. Search `fuzzy-clone` as an example.
+4. Open a terminal
+5. `cd ~/git/github.com/kjuulh`
+6. `gh repo clone kjuulh/fuzzy-clone`
+7. `cd fuzzy-clone`
+
+Granted I've got a more complicated directory structure than most. But still
+there are like 7 steps. It may be small, but it takes around 30 seconds to a
+minute instead of 2 seconds using the utility. That is super valuable to me, and
+helps me everyday when I troubleshoot stuff in some of the repositories I don't
+technically own in my organisation
+
+A bonus is that if the directory exists, I can just jump between them. Sort of
+like the `zoxide zi` tool but a bit more structured
