Unify the repository list / URL tabs of Open from GitHub dialog #2187

Description

@jcansdale

Summary

Users seem to rarely change the tab they're presented with on the open/clone dialog. This is despite that different tabs would be appropriate when cloning different repositories.

If the user is cloning a recently contributed to repository the repository list would make most sense. If they're cloning a public repository they don't own, the URL tab would be the only option.

By allowing users to enter a URL into the repository list search box, they won't need to change tabs in order to clone/open any repository.

Implementation Ideas

  • Add repository in search box to list of repositories
  • Add repository in copy/paste buffer to list of repositories
  • Allow user to search repositories by exact match URL
