# This script installs the Git MCP server and registers it for use with the cline VSCode extension: https://github.com/cline/cline
#
# Usage:
#   ./register-cline.sh <repository-path> [write-access] [mode]
#
# Parameters:
#   repository-path: Required. Path to a Git repository to use.
#   write-access: Optional. Set to "true" to enable write operations. Default is "false".
#   mode: Optional. Git operation mode: 'shell' or 'go-git'. Default is "shell".
#
# Examples:
#   ./register-cline.sh ~/my-repo                    # Install with read-only mode (default)
#   ./register-cline.sh ~/my-repo true               # Install with write operations enabled
#   ./register-cline.sh ~/my-repo false go-git       # Specify mode

# Get parameters with defaults
