Organizations are autocompleted from the list of directories found in $PROJECTS/$service (defaulting to $HOME/projects/$service), where $service is 'github.com', 'gitlab.com' or 'bitbucket.org'. See git-get in this repository for a git clone equivalent that automatically organizes clones into $PROJECTS/github.com/<org>/<repo> (and, similar to hub, allows you type git get mjuric/git-utils).

The code should be easily extensible to other hosting services (e.g., private GitLab or GitHub Enterprise deployments). Open an issue if you're interested in taking a stab at it (I'd be happy to give you pointers). PRs always welcome!
