On my laptop I’m giving the GNOME version of bazzite a try, coming from the “regular” KDE on my desktop. In addtion to gaming I do some software development on both machines so I set them up for my usual tasks.
On KDE I had no issue but on the GNOME version I had trouble having my git credentials saved so had to enter them on every git action on a private remote repo. After some research I was able to solve the issue eventually by layering git-credential-libsecret from rpm (could maybe have exported it from a distrobox but didn’t think of it).
Has anyone else encountered this and how were you able to solve it? May this package be a possible addition to bazzite in general?
Thanks everyone.
I have bazzite KDE and bazzite Gnome variants both installed at the moment and I think I handled them differently. I ended up using the git config --global user.name and user.password on the Gnome variant and just set-up my credentials but it still gives me problems from time to time. My current set up with the KDE version I set up a .ssh key and it’s been working well. Haven’t tested the ssh key via my gnome install yet.
I considered doing it that way, however my goal was to have the credentials stored in a wallet instead of the git files (which are plain text). On KDE that just worked out of the box, on GNOME it didn’t without the tweak I mentioned.
