Description
**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** Requests and ideas
My workflow is to keep primary repo clones in specific local folders, for example C:\dev\org\repo, while letting the app manage session worktrees separately in its buckets folder. When I add a project from a repo URL, I’d like to clone the primary repo directly from the app into my desired local path instead of first cloning it manually outside the app and then adding the existing folder. The app currently doesn't provide an option to define the target folder to clone a repo.

Research direction
Start by tracing the app's add-project flow for repository URLs and how it chooses a clone destination. Identify the UI and cloning entry points involved, then verify that a user-selected local folder is used for the primary clone while session worktrees remain in their buckets folder.
