Visual Studio Code + Git
This section requires that you have Visual Studio Code installed. See the following for installation instructions:
VSCode has an automatic integration with Git which allows you to interact with it from within VSCode, without having to open a separate terminal or type out commands manually. This a very useful tool with a slightly confusing setup.
VSCode does not make note of this in the application, but it requires a separate Git client to be installed on your system. To newcomers, this can be a little confusing.
Firstly, follow the steps on the Git Installation page to install the Git client.
After this is done, you can relaunch VSCode. This will give you a new button in your home screen, which allows you to clone repositories.
