Hi oscampo,
i havent tested it, but StaSh also contains a gh command for github.
Maybe that works?

@oscampo , from memory all repository names in stash have to have a .git ending
Meaning just substitute io for git

@Phuket2 thanks for sugestion, but that is not a typical repo, is a GitHub page, hosted on github repository (see https://pages.github.com/)

@bennr01 thanks, but the StaSH gh commands only admit fork, pull, and create repos, not clonning

@oscampo When cloning any GitHub repo via the command line, you need to add .git at the end. GitHub pages aren't special in any way (except that you can view them as a website over github.io) so that applies to them too. Try running

git clone https://github.com/username/username.github.io.git

and see if that works.

@dgelessus yay! thanks
