Quick Start

When you run Froggit in a directory that is not a Git repository, it opens the Quick Start flow. This guided setup helps you initialize or connect a repository before you begin working.

The Quick Start view presents three options:

  1. Initialize a new repository creates a new Git repository in the current directory using git init. Once complete, Froggit opens the File View so you can begin staging and committing files.

  2. Clone from GitHub lists your personal GitHub repositories and lets you clone one into the current directory. This option requires the GitHub CLI (gh) to be installed and authenticated.

  3. Create on GitHub creates a new repository on your GitHub account and clones it locally. This also requires the GitHub CLI.

Options that depend on the GitHub CLI are only available when gh is detected on your system.
