About

Add a right-click context menu option to quickly clone a Git Repo to this folder [Windows]

Why?

I am cobbling this together because I couldn't find someone else's Git menu after an extensive 7-second google search. New default menus are a bit clunky, so If you have a Git-Menu already: let me know and I will surely share much love!

Setup

1. Setup Git on your PC. (install/configure/logins etc)
2. Add git.reg to your registry by double-clicking it.
3. Profit!

Usage

1. Right-click in a folder you want to clone a repo to.
2. Choose New > Clone Git Repo.
3. Paste in the the https://*.git URL.

If you already have the URL on your clipboard, it will start the clone in 1-click!

Enhancement Possibilities

Beyond the scope of this quickie, but maybe next rainy day:

• Replace default GIT desktop menu with more choices:
  • Clone here.
  • Clone as subfolder
  • New Git repo here
• SSH or other methods
• GUI for more options etc
