Improving SAF URI Compatibility and Git Integration in the Plugin

[bajrangCoder]

The plugin works fine with internal storage but fails when using SAF URIs, such as the Termux home directory. The issue arises due to unusual normalization or parsing of paths. For example, when I try to clone a repository, it sometimes throws an "Unknown error." Upon debugging, I found that the URI contains repeated storage IDs and components, which the plugin attempts to process incorrectly.

Currently, the plugin only supports internal storage and fails when dealing with SAF URIs.

Additionally, it would be great to have the option to clone a repository at a user-specified location. Perhaps this could be added to the command palette for easy access.

One more suggestion: consider adding a feature to color-code opened files in the sidebar based on their Git status. This would significantly enhance visuality and provide better visual feedback.

Thank you for pointing this out:

I’ll check how the paths are being normalized and work on fixing the issue with Termux and similar cases.

I’ll also add an option to select a folder before cloning.

Addition to those. This Following doesn't work:

• For Internal Storage if there is a Parent folder for the Repo it doesn't work(i.e: <internal Storage>/Coding/my-project Even if my-project folder is opened in Acode as parent/main folder. Saf URI(addedFolder url) by : content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/primary%3APersonal%2FReZygisk)
• Folder created in Termux doesn't work (Saf URI: content://com.termux.documents/tree/%2Fdata%2Fdata%2Fcom.termux%2Ffiles%2Fhome%2Ftest-repo)

I’ve fixed the issue in version 1.0.2. The plugin now supports cloning repositories to custom locations, including SAF URIs like Termux. Try updating to the latest version! Let me know if you still face any issues.

Using the latest version(1.0.2) still doesn't resolve the issues I listed above.

I've Found the issue, it is because the URI doesn't have Folder included i.e the Termux URI only has home directory then relative path to actual git repo folder which fails if Acode doesn't have access to termux's home folder, I've fixed the formation but unable to fix pathToUri function.

I have tried fixing by splitting(the "/") the path(in PathToUri function), But it doesn't work when a file is included with the directory.
