Unable to use Git Push feature about addon-vscode

[frenck]

This is an upstream coder/code-server#208

For a workaround in the comment of the upstream issue:

run git config --global credential.helper cache and manually do a git pull/clone/etc (from the CLI) where you'll have to enter your password. Once you do that, git operations in the GUI should work.

To be honest, please use a public/private key pair instead of username/passwords... 😉

The .ssh folder (where your keys should go), persists across restarts.

What .ssh folder are you referring to? I have the SSH add-on too, so I tried adding my key in my user's .ssh folder, but VScode showed no change. I know very little about docker.

I tried googling around for how to setup an SSH key between this add-on and GitHub, and I wind up at this thread :)

I found my .ssh folder in the hassio root /addons/data/xxxx_vscode/.ssh

I have hass.io installed on my ubuntu server with docker.

How do you get the keys to persist? They are removed when the container is restarted. I tried symlinking the hosts keys folder to my homeassistant config folder, but they didn't work. Appeared to be permission related.

I also have this issue. I created a key in the .ssh folder, added the key into my github account. But how do I say to vscode to use this key instead of the username/password?

it should use the key by default but you have to accept the github hostkey
open a shell in your vscode container and do a ssh [email protected] and accept the host key fingerprint

I'm closing this issue.

While it is still present, there is nothing the add-on can do about it.
At this point, it is just cluttering up the overview of issues on the project.

I hope it will be resolved Upstream, however, it is recommended to use private/public keypairs.
