Research direction

Start with the argument handling for the try clone command and compare it with the try <git-url> clone alias. Reproduce the example using a custom name with spaces, then verify that try clone preserves the complete name just as the alias does.

Description

When cloning a git repo with the try clone command, if the custom name provided have spaces then it only gets the first word before the space and ignores the rest. This does not happen when cloning with the clone alias try <git-url>.

Ex.

try clone <git-url> a b    # this clones with the custom name as "a" and ignores the rest

Doing the same with the clone alias:

try <git-url> a b     # this clones with the full custom name "a b"
