Report on VSCodium without .gitconfig and .ssh on Linux

[rkdarst]

To test automatic Github, connection, I did some tests. Overall, it seems to work about how I remember with MS VSCode. HTTPS authentication to GitHub is automatic and it follows a natural graphical/web flow that gets prompted when you need it.

• If I try to commit without .gitconfig, it doesn't let me. It shows a message, and you have to set it using the terminal. So, this still need to be clearly said. Is there any way to set name/email without a terminal? View->Terminal worked even without opening a project.

• If I try to push to a HTTPS url https://github.com/USER/REPO.git: I get a message "The extension GitHub wants to sign in using GitHub:

If I waited too long it seemed like it would time out and I had to re-do it. After I pushed it asked if I wanted to run fetch periodically.

• As an aside, I saw this in the settings:

• If that is set to ssh then I get Permission denied (publickey) as expected with no solution given. The default is https so that's good.
