Improved HTTPS Clone Error Messages
EntryKind: in v2.1.19,
ChangesSection of the release
What
Better error guidance when git clone fails with HTTPS authentication.
Details
- Removed automatic token injection logic (previously tried injecting GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket tokens)
- Now provides clearer message: "Please ensure your credential helper is configured (e.g., gh auth login)"
- Simplifies troubleshooting by pointing users to standard git authentication setup
Evidence
eM9() at line 211687 (contains "gh auth login")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
