Error saving credentials: error storing credentials - err: exit status 1, out: Post "http://ipc/registry/credstore-updated": dial unix /Users/aleonard/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/backend.sock: connect: connection refused

What are some reasons for the connection being refused??

Looks like this may be specific to docker desktop, not the code in this repository 🤔 . Was Docker Desktop running when you tried to authenticate? The error indicates that the docker-desktop helper may be trying to connect to the Docker Desktop API socket, and it not (yet?) running.

Solved! Thanks @thaJeztah I tried a few things and verified that Docker was up via the command line (top ps) but the "fix" was using the Mac search bar to open up the Docker console. On the first few tries launching -- the Docker App would open and then close immediately. Opening the Docker console kept failing until it opened successfully on the 4th try - i dont know why. After verifying the engine was running in the Docker console the command to build/push my docker images worked without the connection refused error
