GitHub Codespaces allow users to use GitHub-hosted pre-configured Docker containers to work on GitHub repositories in VS Code within the browser or using a locally running instance of VS Code [1]. Users can define access permissions for Codespaces containers, allowing them to clone or work with other private repositories [2]. To do this, a git credential helper is injected into the container at /.codespaces/bin/gitcredential_github.sh, which contains the following lines: #!/bin/sh echo protocol=https echo host=github.com echo path= echo username=PersonalAccessToken echo password=$GITHUB_TOKEN The `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable is automatically set when the Codespaces container is created. If authorized by the user, it has the specified permissions. It is thus required to be able to fetch private git repos from a Codespace container, so add it to `FETCH_EXPORT_VARS` to make it available for invocations of git.
