Tell HN: GitHub now recommends using its own `gh` tool to clone repositories

And apparently the ssh url, should you want to use git, needs to be constructed manually.

Can't confirm, I still get all the options:

- HTTPS

- SSH

- Github CLI

Hmm, interesting, I'll hope it's a bug for those who have it. (Anyone else see it at all?)
No, the clone button has all the usual options: HTTPS, SSH, GitHub CLI.
you probably got ab tested, are you in any way subacribed to their developer preview?
Guessing here:

Do you have `gh` installed on the machine where you see this happening? Maybe they know and are just giving a “helpful” default

I don't and I've never used gh.

Haven't thus far found anyone else complaining about this either.
