Opening / Cloning Repositories

Repositories can be added by two methods:

  1. Cloning the remotely hosted repository
  2. Opening it from the local file system.

This is achieved using the add repository button in the top left which will update the screen to the add repository view.

Clone

Cloning with SSH is recommended as there is not yet any method for entering user credentials in VisualGit. This means that if you clone using HTTPS, you will still be able to see local changes and commit locally but not push.

Open Local Repository

Currently, when you clone a repository, it is saved to a directory under ./VisualGit/. This means that when you open a repository which is saved locally, you can simply enter the name of the directory relative to the VisualGit directory. Other save locations are not currently supported but it is planned in future work.
