Syncing profile details from Github

Open gwennlbh opened this issue 11 months ago • 1 comments

Hi! I recently changed my github display name, and it'd like to be able to update my publisher full name on OpenVSX. I don't see any way to either sync it from github or update it manually

thx!

This should already be fixed due to https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/pull/838

When a user login via the GitHub openid provider, his/her details are updated here (https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/blob/master/server/src/main/java/org/eclipse/openvsx/UserService.java#L293).

Tested this locally and it works as expected. For your new display name to be taken into account, you need to logout and login again. After that all your published extensions will have a reference to your new display name.
