Fail to clone private repo is container volume

[Zenthae]

Type: Bug

VS Code fail to clone private GitHub repository in container volume. I don't see any error, it just stops. I tested with public containers from my account and the sample, everything is working fine. SSH key is fine too, I tested it and I can manually clone the repo with git clone git:github.com:Zenthae/gook.git

git ls-remote https://github.com/Zenthae/gook.git is not working though, as it's asking for HTTPS credentials, which are not allowed anymore with GitHub

Just realized that this issue exists after submitting my own

[JOSEPHGILBY]

This appears to be the same as issue #9163 .

[Zenthae]

In my case, i'm not using ssh key, just plain git credentials manager

[JOSEPHGILBY]

I still want to get that issue some attention since they haven't even put these git ls-remote hanging issues on backlog.

[Malix-Labs]

still.

[rgalonso]

Please see my comments in #9377 and #9163.

In short, run the following in WSL:

git config --global credential.helper "/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Git/mingw64/bin/git-credential-manager.exe"
