Improve Git features in Code

[danirabbit]

elementary Code is our native code editor. At the moment it features very basic git support like the ability to see files that have changed and switch branches

Outcome

Students should identify and implement missing version control features like cloning branches, creating forks, committing and pushing changes, etc

issues such as the ones on this project board should be resolved: https://github.com/elementary/code/projects/4

Requirements

• Familiarity with object-oriented programming languages, specifically Vala and the widget toolkit Gtk. It is highly recommended to complete our developer guide before taking on this project
• Familiarity with version control systems, specifically Git

I am also available to mentor this project, in case Daniel gets too busy. :)

I am also available to review PRs. Maybe start with committing changes as that is the first step in the workflow requiring switching to a terminal?
