Bitbucket Cloud
Other hosting provider
No response
(Azure DevOps only) What format is your remote URL?
None
Can you access the remote repository directly in the browser?
Yes, I can access the repository
Expected behavior
I am running a VS Code remote environment (SSH) to an ubuntu linux server. I have git credential helper installed on the linux machine. I run a simple git clone and I expect it should open up a browser to authenticate on my host machine, which would allow me to authenticate to Bitbucket in the browser and redirect the credentials to the remote machine, at least through a localhost port forward.
Is there a way to run git-credential-manager on a remote linux machine in vs code?
Actual behavior
It prompts me for an inline username/password and does not open the browser
