[FR] Documentation for the fact that "Clone Git Project" requires manual installation of Git

[DerAndere1]

I could not find information that a manual installation of Git (https://git-scm.com/) is required if the user wants to use "Clone Git Project"

My steps:
-No installation of Git

• while Git is not installed, click on "PlatformIO" in left tool bar. In panel "PLATFORMIO", click "QUICK ACCESS" -> "Miscellaneous" -> Clone Git Project".

Current result:
Nothing happens

Expected result:

• Pop-up notification that Git has to be installed and added to the PATH System environment variable in order to use "Clone Git Project"
• In section "installation" of the Getting Started document at https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/integration/ide/vscode.html#id1 it should be mentioned that installation of Git and addition to the PATH Sytem environment variable is required to have access to all features of the Platform IDE

Is this is a part of VSCode?

The menu entry "Clone Git Project" is only available after installation of the extension "PlatformIO IDE" in VSCode.

I found the GUI element "Clone Git Project" in source code here:
https://github.com/platformio/platformio-vscode-ide/blob/66a5834be36ab7ed84ccf85c48ae7ea0efa87837/src/views/quick-access-tree.js#L81 .
Documentation should go into the installation section of the platformio-docs repo:
https://github.com/platformio/platformio-docs/blob/develop/integration/ide/vscode.rst#installation

"Clone Git Project" should also be mentioned below the following section:
https://github.com/platformio/platformio-docs/blob/develop/integration/ide/vscode.rst#platformio-core-cli
