Visual Studio with GitHub: Invalid URI: The URI scheme is not valid












0














I want to clone my repository to compile and improve it, with Visual Studio Community 2017.



On command line I would type git clone git@github.com:aegif/CmisSync.git



Visual Studio has a Team Explorer view with a Clone button, but it does not seem to work as I would expect, it shows errors:
Invalid URI: The URI scheme is not valid



So I specified a scheme:
Invalid URI: Invalid port specified



So I specify a port:
Git failed with a fatal error. Could not read from remote repository



... which I guess is caused by Visual Studio trying to connect without bothering to authenticate me or creating SSH keys first.



What am I doing wrong?

          By default this version of Visual Studio does not include GitHub integration.



          First, click Tools>Get tools and features and install GitHub extension for Visual Studio:



          enter image description here



          Then on the Clone link under GitHub, not the one under Local Git repositories:



          enter image description here



          Now you can easily select your GitHub repository and clone it.
