[Bug]: installation of extensions from private repo is not working in the UI

[jmcouffin]

✈ Pre-Flight checks

• I don't have SentinelOne antivirus installed (see above for the solution)
• I have searched in the issues (open and closed) but couldn't find a similar issue
• I have searched in the pyRevit Forum for similar issues
• I already followed the installation troubleshooting guide thoroughly
• I am using the latest pyRevit Version

🐞 Describe the bug

For context the username and password access was dropped by GitHub for a token system.
The cli has been fixed a few years ago but the extension manager is not working with private repos nor saving the token when input in the password text box.

• Username text box needs to be removed
• Check token saving process
• check installation process

i have been testing the fine-grained token and the classic token, both have the same error

can you provide a screen capture of the pyrevit extensions manager UI + the lines of the pyrevit-config file located in %appdata%/pyrevit/ especially the ones with your extensions details to see if it is set to private and if there is a password set.

Hello @jmcouffin

here is the screen shot for the error

when i use the CLI with access token it works fine, with the below command
pyrevit extend ui XXX "https:XXX.git" --dest="%AppData%\pyRevit\Extensions" --token="XXXXXX"

but in the Pyrevit extension manager UI with the same token, it gives this error
And you can find below the lines of the config file as requested, the last repo in the config "XXX"
i tried to change private_repo = true, it does not work, and also if i add my actual username and password or actual user name and token in the config file, same error arrives

hello @jmcouffin

when i try to clone my private repo from our company local git platform, or private github repo through CMD with normal git commands (out of pyrevit CLI) it works with this command but i must make sslVerify=false to work.
i do not know if this is the issue or not with github private repo in the Pyrevit extension manager UI.

here is the code working in a bat script file with CMD with normal git commands instead of pyrevit CLI which request my sign in credentials after running the command, then it clone successfully the repo:

@Echo Off
winget install --id Git.Git -e --source winget
cd %AppData%\pyRevit\Extensions
git -c http.sslVerify=false clone https://XXX/XXX.git

ren "XXX" "XXX.extension"

the idea in this solution that it doesn't update if i commit new changes, users must delete the current extension folder manually and re run this batch script file to re clone the the updated repo once each time we have a new revision of the plugin.

so what i wish to do , is to use the the normal Pyrevit extension manager UI , to clone my private repo from github or any other git platform so it update automatically if i do any modification for the code.
