Guessing Repository Name #467

Closed twodee closed 7 years ago

twodee commented 7 years ago

When cloning a new remote repository, it'd be friendly to guess the repository name based on the remote URL. For example, if I paste in https://github.com/yoozer/reepo in the remote clone dialog, the repository name field is automatically set to reepo. But probably only if it's blank.

Agreed, this would be nice to have!

See this comment regarding making this feature also work with ssh repos. While you're at it: that would make this functionality just complex enough that it should be factored out as a separate method, called from within the anonymous listener method. Giving it a descriptive name, something like extractRepoName would make the code more clear without even needing documentation to do it. That method could then also be unit tested.
