To set the scene: I work in a highly restricted SOE. I can only sign in as a standard user, but have administrative access through "Run as other user" or "Run as administrator".
When trying to setup GitHub access, VSCode running as administrator opens an authentication window in a browser that then wants to re-open VSCode. The issue is, reopening VSCode in this manner only opens as the standard user, not running as administrator. This happens connected to the internet through the work network, and via hotspot.
I am NOT permitted to sign-in directly as administrator.
My colleague has told me there used to be a way to sign in by copying and pasting a token directly into VSCode, but this appears to no longer be an option.
Is there another way to authenticate GitHub with VSCode, other than the web-based sign-in?
Thanks
