Research direction

The issue names js-github and git-web-platform but no repository file, test, or entry point. Start by reviewing the discussion and the existing browser-related APIs, then determine the scope for cloning non-GitHub URLs through a proxy. Done should mean a non-GitHub Git repository can be cloned from its URL in the browser.

Description

Sorry if there's something I'm missing here...

I'd like to clone git repos in the browser by URL. I understand there are CORS issues, but I can set up a proxy.

I've got GitHub working fine (using js-github) but can't figure out how to work with non-GitHub URLs. I found git-web-platform, but it doesn't seem to be published.

Any pointers?

Thanks!
