Format

zed://git/clone?repo={repoUrl}

Try it

zed://git/clone?repo=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fzed-industries%2Fzed.gitOpen

What you supply

{repoUrl}

The repository to clone.

Encoding it is safer, but Zed also accepts the raw URL — ?repo=https://github.com/owner/name.git parses correctly.

zed://git/clone/?repo=… with a trailing slash works too.

Unlike most of the scheme, this one is strict: a missing or empty repo parameter is an error rather than a silent fallback. That is a small mercy — you find out the link is broken instead of watching it open the wrong thing.

The obvious use is a README button that puts a project on someone's machine in one click.
