Clone Repositories From Saved GitHub Accounts
Browse repositories available to a saved GitHub account and clone one directly into a new project in a single flow.
Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Project onboarding should not start with copying clone URLs between the browser and the terminal. If you already connected your GitHub account to 1DevTool, the app should know which repositories you can access and let you pull one in immediately. This flow shortens repo setup from a manual ritual into a guided Add Project path with the right identity already attached.
How It Works
Get started in 4 simple steps
Choose Add Project → Clone
Open the Clone tab and select one of your saved GitHub accounts.
Browse Accessible Repositories
Search repositories you own or can access as a collaborator from inside the app.
Pick a Destination
Confirm the destination folder and clone directly into your workspace without copying a URL manually.
Start Working Immediately
The cloned repository is added as a project in the same flow, ready for terminals, files, and the rest of your setup.
