Private Repositories not found in SmartGit

Question

we are using github for our projects. I was using smartgit without any problems. After my boss updated the account to "enterprise" SmartGit can't see all our private repositories on github.

Others git clients work just fine! (tested the github.com client for windows, console, SourceTree)

Why is this? I checked the remote repos and they are available.. smartgit tells me they are not (404). Or is it because I am using smartgit personal edition and after the git update it doesn't like our git account so I need to buy smartgit commercial license?

Thanks.

Answer 1

By default, SmartGit will use the GitHub OAuth token to access your repositories. If access restrictions have changed on GitHub, it may be necessary to regenerate this token in the Preferences, section Hosting Providers. Be sure to grant access to all your GitHub organizations. For details refer to the SmartGit documentation.

thanks! you moved me in the right direction. I switched from OAuth to SSH and it works now perfectly. :) – Contemporize
