"Sign in with Browser" Redirects to Broken Link During Push; Unable to See Repository or Contributions with "Sign in with Code"

[Mahelaka29]

🐞 Problem

• When pushing changes to the repository via the terminal, I encounter a GitHub login popup. After selecting "Sign in with your browser," I'm redirected to a broken URL. If I choose the "Sign in with code" option instead, the authentication works, but I don't see my repository or any changes I contributed.

🎯 Goal

• The goal is to be able to push my contributions to the repository without encountering broken URLs during the GitHub authentication process. This will help ensure a smooth contribution process for users and prevent issues with pushing their changes.

💡 Possible solutions

• Check the redirect URL for the browser-based authentication method and ensure it works properly.
• Improve the fallback method using "Sign in with code" to ensure repositories and contributions are properly displayed after authentication.

📋 Steps to solve the problem

• Investigate the broken URL during the "Sign in with your browser" process.
• Ensure that "Sign in with code" displays the repositories and contributions correctly.
• Update any documentation if required to guide users through this process more smoothly.

I understand the frustration you're experiencing with the broken URL when trying to sign in with your browser and the limitations with the "Sign in with code" option.
For the problem of the broken URL during "Sign in with your browser," it's essential to investigate the redirect URL as you've suggested. This could involve checking the configuration settings related to authentication and redirects in both the GitHub application and the terminal client you're using. It's possible that there might be a misconfiguration or a problem with the URL generation process.
Regarding the "Sign in with code" option not showing the repository or contributions, this could be due to a synchronization issue or a problem with the authentication flow not properly updating the user interface to display the relevant information. One possible solution could be to check if there are any caching issues that might be preventing the updated information from being displayed. Clearing caches or refreshing the page might help in some cases.
To solve this problem, here are the steps I would recommend:

1. Investigate the broken URL:
   Check the logs or error messages related to the authentication process to get more details about the specific URL that is failing.
   Contact GitHub support if necessary to see if they can provide any insights into the issue.
   Review the documentation and settings for the terminal client and GitHub to ensure that the authentication settings are correct.
2. Ensure "Sign in with code" works properly:
   Test the "Sign in with code" option multiple times to see if the problem is consistent or intermittent.
   Check if there are any known issues or workarounds related to this option on GitHub's support forums or community discussions.
   If possible, try using a different terminal client or environment to see if the problem persists.
3. Update documentation:
   If any changes or workarounds are found, update the relevant documentation to help other users who might encounter the same issue.
   Provide clear instructions on how to troubleshoot and resolve authentication issues.
   I hope these suggestions help in resolving this issue. If you need further assistance or have any additional information to share, please don't hesitate to let me know.
