iVim Pro Clone Repo isn’t working #218

Closed ahayman closed 1 year ago

ahayman commented 2 years ago

I subscribed to iVim Pro in order to clone a repo from Github (a private one of mine). Couldn’t get it to work:

1) the "Cred Type" switching problem

This is a UI issue started appearing in i(Pad)OS 15. I have fixed it in version 2.43 (it's also been released in the App Store), updating it will solve this problem.

2) use GitHub username & password

Yes, GitHub has stopped supporting to use username and password in third-party apps. However, you can create a personal access token (Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens) and use the token in place of the password.

Thanks for the reporting and sorry for the inconvenience.

Updating fixed the "Cred Type" switching problem.

I still couldn't access my repo using ssh. I tried both creating files for the pub/private keys, and manually pasting the data in. Neither worked. I tried the same keys on my Mac without issue. Also, iVim doesn't seem to support the ssh url. I tried both git@github.com... and git+ssh://git@github.com..., but both came up as unsupported. When I tried to use the https url with the keys, iVim says "cloning..." but never finished. I waited twenty minutes before closing it out.

Using a personal access token did work (and cloned immediately). So I can access my repo now (yay!). Using SSH keys seem to be broken though.

Yes, you are right. The current backing libgit2 library in iVim fails to include the SSH support. I will look into this.

The version 2.44 fixes the SSH problem and is available in the App Store.

And this is the wiki page on the format of the SSH URLs: https://github.com/terrychou/iVim/wiki/Format-of-URL-using-SSH-in-version-control
