Git Login Manager

Git Login Manager keeps the GitHub credentials that other RobOS apps depend on in working order. It does not handle GitLab or Gitea, and it does not store personal access tokens; login uses the GitHub CLI’s browser flow.

The four checks

Check now runs all checks immediately.

Behavior you should know about

• The window starts hidden. The checks run at startup and every 5 minutes (CHECK_INTERVAL_MS in main.js; the window’s “Next check in” label counts down from 60 seconds, which does not match), and the window opens by itself the first time any check fails, unless onboarding is still in progress.
• If the git identity is missing and gh is logged in, the app fills user.name and user.email from your GitHub profile (using the id+login@users.noreply.github.com address if your email is private).
• On every check it sets the global git option url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/" if it is not set, so https://github.com/... clones go over SSH. Remove it with git config --global --unset url.git@github.com:.insteadOf if you do not want that.
• When all checks pass it refreshes ~/.config/robos/gh-repos-cache.json (your repositories and those of your organizations, at most once an hour). Other apps use this list for repository pickers.
• Desktop Manager restarts this app if it stops.

Requirements

gh, ssh, ssh-keygen and git on the PATH. Source: packages/git-login-manager.
