Can I use Visual Studio to clone remote github repository?

Is it possible to clone some remote repository(like github) in Visual Studio 2015 Community? I just downloaded Visual Studio 2015 free version, I noticed it can support git, but seem to only support local git repository. that mean I need to use 3rd git client to clone remote repository, then import to Visual Studio. Is it a better way to do that? Thanks, -S-G

You should be able to enter directly a git repo url, under the Local Git Repositories section of the Connect panel:

Visual Studio with Git has an updated page, with a field you should be able to fill with the url of your choice:
