Git hosting provider(s)
GitLab
Other hosting provider
No response
(Azure DevOps only) What format is your remote URL?
None
Can you access the remote repository directly in the browser?
Yes, I can access the repository
Expected behavior
I have the same oauth config accessing the same gitlab instance on MacOS, Windows and Linux. Basic oauth config (client id, secret, provider) works fine on Windows and MacOS.
However, on Linux the same config repeats the browser authentication flow on every single git action. In fact, judging from the trace log, gcm doesn't even attempt to reuse whatever auth state it stored on previous access and just starts the auth flow.
I have tried multiple credentials stores, namely cache, gpg and secretservice. All appear to correctly perform the 'store' stage after the 'get' stage (no errors reported) and yet, on next gitlab action the authentication flow starts anew.
Actual behavior
Authentication flow should complete once and then just do its thing for the next few hours, as it does on Windows and MacOS.
Logs
diagnose command crashes outright (probably because something is not accessible on the plain network). Still not a reason to crash, though. :-)

No response
(Azure DevOps only) What format is your remote URL?
None
Can you access the remote repository directly in the browser?
Yes, I can access the repository
Expected behavior
I have the same oauth config accessing the same gitlab instance on MacOS, Windows and Linux. Basic oauth config (client id, secret, provider) works fine on Windows and MacOS.
However, on Linux the same config repeats the browser authentication flow on every single git action. In fact, judging from the trace log, gcm doesn't even attempt to reuse whatever auth state it stored on previous access and just starts the auth flow.
I have tried multiple credentials stores, namely cache, gpg and secretservice. All appear to correctly perform the 'store' stage after the 'get' stage (no errors reported) and yet, on next gitlab action the authentication flow starts anew.
Actual behavior
Authentication flow should complete once and then just do its thing for the next few hours, as it does on Windows and MacOS.
Logs
diagnose command crashes outright (probably because something is not accessible on the plain network). Still not a reason to crash, though. :-)
Trace logs for 2 invocations of git fetch back to back. credentialStore is set to "secretservice", and there's a normal cache helper additionally present. Both appear to have no effect on the issue.
