Allow changing destination directory name of Cloned Gist Repositories #206

Open JustinGrote opened 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Clone to Repository saves as the gist GUID which can make it hard to identify

Describe the solution you'd like When choosing "Clone Repository", offer a popup to name the repository folder in the target rather than the GUID it is typically assigned. This behavior could be toggled by a preference variable

Describe alternatives you've considered Clone and then rename afterwards, however this is less desirable to the workflow

Ah yeah, that's a great suggestion! In your case, do your gists have descriptions, that you'd want to use as the cloned folder name? At a minimum, we should definitely use the description if the gist has one, since the ID is pretty useless 😁

I normally give them descriptions, but it should still prompt with the description auto-populated, because my descriptions tend to be very verbose which I'm not sure if that's the norm or not: image

EDIT: To be clear I wouldn't normally name the folders this, I'd name the folder MSITest or AzureNotifyChange etc.

Got it. Thanks for sharing that detail!
