wincredman error over SSH via VSCode remote with GitHub CLI
Discussed in https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/discussions/1346
Originally posted by davetapley July 24, 2023 Here's my workflow:
- Connect to Windows machine using VS Code Remote Development
- Use the GitHub CLI's
gh repo clonecommand
push/pull work, but every time I'm told (x3):
fatal: Unable to persist credentials with the 'wincredman' credential store.
See https://aka.ms/gcm/credstores for more information.
That link helpfully says: https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/blob/2fcbd770f6a3ef976a85c2463649aa0fb863c981/docs/credstores.md?plain=1#L36
But here's the thing: it does seem to work, because I can push/pull.
What's going on here?
Can I suppress the fatal error?
Should that even be an error since it appears to work regardless? 🤔
