Save user preferred clone method HTTP/SSH

Description

I'm working in an environment where I am only able to clone repositories through the HTTP(S) method. Therefore, before cloning a repo, I need to click on the drop-down which normally specifies the SSH method of cloning the repo to change the URL to the HTTP(S) version of the repo URL.

Proposal

Instead of defaulting the repository clone path to SSH, retrieve the preferred clone method via the user's preferences [0]. (But if the user hasn't specified otherwise, keep this as SSH). If this was implemented it's one less click to clone the repo and I can just copy & paste the URL and be on my way :)
