The one I do is `git clone ` then paste in the repository URL from bitbucket, and end up with `git clone git clone https://....`

I don't think that can be solved here though.



I do that all the time, often with package managers (npm install npm install foo)


CTRL-u CTRL-v


Nice! Never knew about CTRL+u. Thanks.


It's so far from my left hand I prefer to press ctrl+w twice. (yes, I use the mouse a bit too much)


Hah! Bitbucket drives me nuts in many ways but this one truly is the worst!


Certainly. The user is either used to typing "git clone" or is using a GUI where you input the repo URL. How bitbucket does it would only be fine if you only use bitbucket or if everybody did it that way.
