Thanks for sharing

With many git repositories, git-credential-oauth opens many browser tabs

That's unexpected, unless each repository has a different user or host. What's your config? git config --get-all credential.helper

[nicholasdille]

My git configuration is a bit more elaborated. I have multiple includeIf and credential blocks. But it only happens for gitlab.my-company.com. Does this help?

$ cat ~/.gitconfig
[push]
	default = simple
	autoSetupRemote = true
	followTags = true
[user]
	name = Nicholas Dille
[init]
	defaultBranch = main
[tag]
	sort = version:refname
[diff]
	algorithm = histogram
	colorMoved = plain
	mnemonicPrefix = true
	renames = true
[fetch]
	prune = true
	pruneTags = true
	all = true
[merge]
	conflictstyle = zdiff3
[pull]
	rebase = true

[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://gitlab.my-company.com/**"]
    path = .gitconfig-haufe

[credential "https://gitlab.my-company.com"]
    helper = cache --timeout 21600
    helper = oauth
    oauthclientId = "[REDACTED]"
    oauthScopes = "read_repository write_repository"
    oauthAuthURL = /oauth/authorize
    oauthTokenURL = /oauth/token
    oauthDeviceAuthURL = /oauth/authorize_device

Curious. I'd expect at most one tab opened in six hours (21600 seconds).

This is really weird. I tried simplifying my git config but could not get rid of the multiple tabs. I wonder if this is rather related to vscode which performs git fetch on all repos regularly. I will do some more tests and get back to you.

Thanks for your support!

BTW, I love this project. Great work!

[hickford]

What platform and Git version are you using?

[nicholasdille]

I am on WSL (Windows 11) with git 2.51.0.

If I visit multiple git repositories and run git fetch on the console individually, I only get a tab once. It looks like vscode is running git commands on repositories at once. I'll do some more testing.

[hickford]

So you have Git installed inside WSL as well as Git for Windows outside? That's typical but check both configurations.

VSCode installed in Windows presumably? Then it would use Git for Windows.

[nicholasdille]

I am using VSCode with the WSL extension so the server side component is running in WSL and all git commands are executed in WSL.

I am sure that it is related to git.autofetch in vscode. Once I switched it off and used the UI to fetch from the repos one after another, it worked as expected. It seems to be related to the fact, that the autofetch feature updates all repositories at the same time.

Thanks for your support.

The reason for this PR has changed. It is now more of a luxury feature if the tab goes away automatically. cosign does this for example. I'll update the description.

@hickford is there a chance this will get merged? If not, are there other ways to establish this kind of functionality you will be willing to accept (E.g, a config variable to customize the page template)
