GitHub Sync With Proxy

PowerShell Universal

Product: PowerShell Universal
Version: 3.3.5

I tried using the out-of-the-box git sync with the proxy environment variable set but quickly realized that wasn’t going to work. I then installed the git CLI, configured it, and got it authenticated with GitHub using the gh auth login command.

However, when I try to make changes to the git settings in the UI they don’t stick, and the sync still fails. I thought this might be because I have my git settings set in appsettings.json. So, I removed those settings. When I do that and restart the services, I get stuck on this screen.

How do I set the option to use the external git client in appsettings.json? Should I do something else?

In your appsettings.json, you can use the following to use the external git client:

"Data": {
   "ExternalGitClient" : true
}

I’ll make sure we get this into the docs. Based on your log, it’s not using the external git client.
