GitHub Token not saved?
Answered
Hello,
i would like to use the Push Functionality to GitHub - but i often have to put in the token several times.
Allways he is asking me for the user for this project - after that i have to (re)generate the token an then everthing is working.
Is it possible to set the token for all projects as defaultg - so i get not pormpted every time?

Hello @...
IDE saves all passwords, including GitHub token, according to the settings in Settings | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | Passwords.
Make sure IDE is configured to save passwords either in Keychain or in KeePass.
Ok - thank you very much - the mentioned options were indeed not enabled - so far no more problems when pushing something.
But i see now another problem - i have several folders in my project and pushing is working for 4 of this folders.
But now i added one more (made a clone with github-desktop into the projectfolder - but now i even not able to do a commit in Idea.
Why is this - is ist necessary to add this folder somewhere to the project so it is recognized for commits / pushes and so on?
I think i found the option where i can add projects to the directory - under settings => version control
And there in that window i can add unregistered folders to the version control system
Now everything seems to work as expected...
