Authentication failed

[phifuh]

I tried pushing a commit to my github repo, but I only get the error "authentication not supported"

I am currently using github desktop where I can push it to the repo.
I read in the issue #204 #205 that you have to install the gcm but even after installing i am not getting a "pop window" to login/create the acces token. I might need to config it by the CLI?

Anyway, even tho this might not be a "bug" - "bug", I still think gitnuro should make the process of authentication easier and guide the user. Not everyone will use CLI or read in past issues on github

I cant get the auth to work. I edited the "/etc/gitconfig" file & my normal git is working both in terminal & github desktop. Like I said earlier, it would be awesome if Gitnuro would have a better authentication service build into the app

Hey!

Can you post your gitconfig?

It's in the roadmap to add support for third party services at some point (as seen in #205) but not in the near future. However, improving the error could be something interesting and it was added to #30 .

It wasn't working out of the box because it probably used some kind of GitHub-specific auth such as GH CLI. Gitnuro 1.4 fixes some issues with GH CLI auth but it's not out yet (planned this week tho, release notes are ready).

Sorry for the late response.

The helper has to point to the Git Credentials Manager full path as shown in the readme FAQ.

I know it's not the best way tho. I've been experimenting a bit to avoid all this extra config/overhead but it needs more testing.

Given that I'm waiting for the release of a dependency, I'll try to test it further to avoid all these issues with users migrating from github cli or other credentials helpers.

Don't use your password, you have to generate a token in GitHub that will be used for auth. I will have to add a warning as this issue arises often...
