Add combination command to git clone and cd into directory

[salcode]

Every time I do git clone, I follow it with cd to move into the project directory.

e.g.

git clone git@github.com:ironcodestudio/ironcode-git-enhancements.git
cd ironcode-git-enhancements

It would be nice to combine these.

See StackOverflow git clone and cd into it

Right now, adding this to bash_profile-mods.bash seems to be the best I've come up with

function gitclonecd() {
	if [[ $1 =~ /(.*)\.git$  ]]; then
		echo ${BASH_REMATCH[1]};
		git clone $1;
		cd ${BASH_REMATCH[1]};
	else
		echo "Could not derive a valid directory name from repository.";
	fi;
}

This allows

gitclonecd git@github.com:ironcodestudio/ironcode-git-enhancements.git
# which clones the repo and then does a cd into it

I've been unable to make this a Git alias (and have made it a bash alias) because I am unable to change the working directory from within the git alias.
