Git Login

Save your git host credentials once so HTTPS git operations stop prompting on every clone/fetch/push.

Save a login

Run git login: Manage from the command palette:

  1. Pick a provider — GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, or a custom host.
  2. Enter your username and paste a Personal Access Token (the modal links straight to the provider’s token page and lists the scopes to grant).
  3. Save. The token is written to your OS keychain — never to settings or plaintext.

After that, git HTTPS clone / fetch / push authenticate silently. The password prompt only appears when there’s no saved login. Remove clears a saved login.

Environment-variable fallback

If you’d rather not store a token, set one of these and PaddleBoard answers git auth from it:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=...      # or GITLAB_TOKEN / BITBUCKET_TOKEN

Notes

  • PaddleBoard sends the conventional token username per provider unless you set your own: x-access-token (GitHub), oauth2 (GitLab), x-token-auth (BitBucket).
  • PAT-only today — no OAuth sign-in yet.
  • HTTPS only. SSH key passphrases and host-key confirmations are untouched and still prompt as usual.
