Setup authentication to repository

[AndreaFranchini]

Hi, first of all I really like the UI, nice work!

My problem is with setting up the authentication to my remote repository: it can't be configured via interface? Also i'm not finding the way to change the username and email after having set them.

Thanks for your attention.

Hi AndreaFranchini, thanks for the nice comments.

GitFiend should allow you to authenticate. If you are using https, it should prompt for username and password. If you are using ssh, you will need to get that working on the command line first, then it should work in GitFiend.

Right now GitFiend doesn't do a lot of configuration. It's best to get Git configured on the command line first, and then GitFiend will pick up those settings.

If that's not working, could you provide some more information? What error message are you getting? What operating system? https or ssh? Are you using 2 factor authentication?

It prompted me username and password and now I see the "Commit as xxx" label, but if I miss-type something or i want to change user/pass I can't find where to change them (at interface level).

Anyway I'm agree that is not that terrible to "get Git configured on the command line first, and then GitFiend will pick up those settings" :)
