Just tried to sync with git (local gitlab instance) with builtin client and project access token. Sadly this does not work:

No clue on what I m missing here…
The local git seems fine. It did commit all the files and the remote is a brand new empty repository waiting for the initial push. Token has read_repository / write_repository privileges.

There’s an open issue from 2021 on the libgit2sharp repo, which is the library PSU uses. Not sure how to take that.

You could try to use the external git client setting. It will run git.exe rather than use litgit2sharp to do the push.

I installed git and did create the repo manually.
Turns out, the project access token has to be maintainer (else it cannot set a default branch/upstream on the gitlab site). Made some more changes to the git config, to assure a valid upstream/remote.

After everything worked manually, I was changing back to the internal PSU git client and it does work now.
