Your First Repository

Everything in Fletch happens against a project — a local git repository. Add one from the sidebar’s Add project button, which offers three ways to start.

Open a folder

Section titled “Open a folder”

Choose Open a folder (“Local repo on your machine”) to point Fletch at a repository that’s already on your machine. A native directory picker opens; pick the repo’s root and it appears in the sidebar.

Clone from GitHub

Section titled “Clone from GitHub”

Choose Clone from GitHub (“Pick a repo or paste a URL”) to bring down a remote repo:

  • Search the list of your GitHub repositories, or
  • Paste a URL or owner/repo into the field,
  • pick a destination folder, and click Clone repository.

Create new project

Section titled “Create new project”

Choose Create new project (“New repo, local + on GitHub”) to start from scratch. Fill in a name, choose Private or Public visibility, add an optional description, pick a destination folder, and click Create project. Fletch creates the local repo, publishes it to GitHub, and wires up the origin remote.
