Adds a git clone open listener to clone and open repos using zed zed://git/clone?repo=<url>

This will also allow creating "Open with Zed" buttons on websites with a href to something like zed://git/clone?repo=https://github.com/zed-industries/zed.git.

Demo:

2025-10-31.14-43-16.mp4

Release Notes:

  • Added git clone open listeners using zed://git/clone?repo=<git-url>

@AlvaroParker : Would it be possible to do something like this?
zed zed://git/clone/<url> --single-branch
zed zed://git/clone/<url> --single-branch -b feature-a

look: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone#_options

@Angelk90 Currently the git clone backend implementation doesn't support that (single branch, -b argument, etc), and adding that I think is out of scope for this PR

zed/crates/fs/src/fs.rs

Lines 962 to 978 in 07dcb8f

async fn git_clone(&self, repo_url: &str, abs_work_directory: &Path) -> Result<()> {
let output = new_smol_command("git")
.current_dir(abs_work_directory)
.args(&["clone", repo_url])
.output()
.await?;
if !output.status.success() {
anyhow::bail!(
"git clone failed: {}",
String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stderr)
);
}
Ok(())
}

I'll probably remove the cloning modal notification if #41712 gets merged

@AlvaroParker Thank you for contribution! Merging after these tweaks:

  • Switched to a format consistent with zed://git/commit
  • Wait for the workspace window to appear before opening the path prompt, so that it the former doesn't appear over it when a tiling wm isn't used
  • Reused clone flow from git panel

Hey @agu-z thanks for those tweaks! I fixed the redundant clone and now tests should pass.
