Description
I'm currently maintaining a simple git alias I'm calling fav [1] that supports cloning repos by name based on search URL specified via env var (see the comments in [1] for more details).
Any interest in me porting that here??

Research direction
Read the referenced aliases/fav implementation in the bodenr/openstack-git repository, then inspect how git-extras currently defines and documents its aliases. Confirm the desired repository-name cloning behavior and add the port only if it fits the project's existing command structure; done means the alias is available and its documented usage works.
