    I don't see anything about context menu in that tutorial. Isn't there a "clone" button somewhere? Cloning a repo isn't related to an existing repo, so I wouldn't expect it in the context menu.

Clone is the fourth button to the right of the tab labeled "Git Repositories." The GUI you're looking at isn't clearing explaining that the "Git Repositories" view is showing a list of local repositories, which are generally either created empty from scratch or cloned from a remote repository. It isn't a list of remote repositories you could clone from, which is why "clone" isn't on that context menu. (Not that it would be impossible to clone a local repository, it just isn't a common thing to do.)

You can see "git (NO-HEAD)" behind your contextual menu.
That is typical of a new git repo without any commit.

Start making at least one commit, and see if the clone option is still missing.

  • @URL87 the instruction 4 looks like asking to click on clone, without selecting an existing repo, but to clone a remote repo.
