Git clone command to support cloning with specific branch & disable popup which ask user whether he wants open it in explorer

[omkar07]

Hi team, We are using vscode internal git extension command clone to clone the repository with a specific branch. However, It doesn't look like from source code here that if there's a way to do so

vscode/extensions/git/src/git.ts

Line 393 in c3f1263

async clone(url: string, options: ICloneOptions, cancellationToken?: CancellationToken): Promise<string> {

Also, we would like to know if there is a way to disable this below popup which asks users whether they want to open the cloned repository in the file explorer. Could you please help take a look into this below issue?

Command: commands.executeCommand("git.clone", "repositoryUrl", "directory to clone");
also checkout command is throwing error: no repo found after cloning repo and executing below command:
commands.executeCommand("git.checkout", repositoryUrl, directory where repo cloned, 'branchName'); not sure how to clone specific branch.

Popup to disable:

@lszomoru , any updates on this it's been a month almost? Could you please help otherwise on how with checkout command we can achieve this?

@omkar07, as of right now there is no way to close a branch directly using the clone extension command. The popup that you are referring to is being controlled by the git.openAfterClone setting which is set to prompt by default. You can change the setting depending of the experience that you would like to have.
