Git authentication is hidden in Windows #4170
Comments
Thanks for reporting! I also think it's confusing that on Windows this setting doesn't exist at all. Rather, I'd expect it to be greyed out with a message saying something akin of "On Windows, only the Git executable is supported right now". Maybe it is a legitimate bug though if hiding the menu on Windows was never intended. |
Yeah, that will be something good to have. |
CC @krlvi who might know something about this. I vaguely remember that at some point Windows started defaulting to using the executable, so maybe the whole UI element was removed then? |
@Byron you are correct - on windows there are no config options to choose from. We can either update the docs or have the thing grayed out instead of being absent on windows. I am leaning towards updating the docs though, because those other auth mechanisms cant be supported on windows (at least not with libgit2) |
Thanks! Indeed, the issue is about the usability of the documentation. When it's updated, the issue should be resolved. |
I have updated the docs with this PR gitbutlerapp/gitbutler-docs#25 |
