It's been a while since github deprecated the use of password on CLIs and applications. Personal access token is the way to get authenticated on these apps. libgit2sharp is quiet on errors and warnings pertinent to PATs.
For example,
access tokens can be created with only repository access. Which is restricted to do modifications outside the repository i.e., workflows, wikis and projects. Hence, trying to modify a workflow file using this token should outcome an access exception.
However, libgit2sharp behaves as if nothing happened when that event does occur. Nothing is performed, push fails, however, there is no error/warning report from libgit2sharp.
Reproduction steps
Create a PAT with only repository access. Now try to push a commit that modifies a workflow file.
Expected behavior
Show throw an exception or report an error.
Actual behavior
Does not throw an exception, behaves as if push was successful. However, push actually failed.
to mimic the behavior of git, behavior of libgit2sharp should look like following,
I created an example commit that modified following github workflow file: D:\Code\MyBlog\.github\workflows\deploy.yml
git properly reports the error,
$ git push origin dev
