I cannot see issues in a private repo

[sfabriece]

I'm getting Cannot access {{user/repo}}

Added github.username to settings.json but it didn't help.

The login currently depends on a valid password being available in the git credential store. This will have to change.

Same here github.username did not help.

It would nice to have the possibility to use an authtoken also so that could be revoked later on.

I'm keeping my credentials in ~/.netrc, and what worked for me was:

1. Download https://github.com/github/git-msysgit/blob/master/contrib/credential/netrc/git-credential-netrc, save it into a directory in your PATH, and make it executable
2. Enable this helper for git: git config --global credential.helper netrc
3. Restart vscode

git handles .netrc by default but doesn't provide the content with git credential fill (which is what this extension uses). The helper fixes that :)

I cant seem to get this working on Windows 10. Always get this error:

{"message":"Validation Failed","errors":[{"message":"The listed users cannot be searched either because the users do not exist or you do not have permission to view the users.","resource":"Search","field":"q","code":"invalid"}],"documentation_url":"https://developer.github.com/v3/search/"}

@opicron Try setting the "github.username" setting.

Setting "github.username" worked for me even in private repo. I suggest keeping this information on README.
