Description
When attempting to clone a repository from the welcome screen on a system where Git is not installed, CodeEdit opens a new empty folder in a new workspace instead of performing the clone. No error is shown to the user.
Steps to Reproduce
- Ensure Git is not installed on your system.
- Launch CodeEdit and open the welcome screen.
- Attempt to clone a repository using the "Clone Repository" option.
- Observe that an empty workspace opens, but no repository is cloned.
- No warning or error is displayed.
Expected Behavior
- The user should be notified that Git is required and prompted to install it before attempting to clone a repository.
Actual Behavior
- No warning is shown.
- A new, empty workspace is opened without performing the clone operation.
Version Information
macOS: 15.4 Beta (24E5238a)
CodeEdit: Version 0.3.4-alpha (45)
Additional Context
Adding a check for Git's presence before attempting the clone and displaying an alert if it's not found would greatly improve user experience and prevent confusion.
