How to setup:

Work locally

1. VS Code should open folder not file
2. Git have to be installed.
3. Root folder have to be a git repository. If not run git init command in terminal.
4. Git Flow have to be installed.
5. You have to initialize git flow in the root of your repository with git flow init command.

Work remotely

In order to push branches to or delete branches from remote repository like GitHub, user have to be authenticated. For github there are 2 main ways to work with repositories over SSH protocol or over HTTPS. Those 2 different protocols usually refer to repository with different URL. Here is example of SSH and HTTPS urls of this extension.

https://github.com/Serhioromano/vscode-gitflow.git
[email protected]:Serhioromano/vscode-gitflow.git

You can clone repository with either url.

SSH (recommended)

First ensure your repository configured to work over SSH.

git remote remove origin
git remote add origin [email protected]:user/repository.git

Or simple edit your_repository/.git/config and make sure repository URL there has a SSH link.

Read this article how to authorize your PC with SSH key.

Basically what you have to do is to generate key with

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"

Then go to ~/.ssh folder and look for id_rsa.pub file and copy it's content. Last go to https://github.com/settings/keys and add SSH Key there.

HTTPS

First ensure your repository configured to work over SSH.

git remote remove origin
git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repository.git

Or simple edit your_repository/.git/config and make sure repository URL there has a HTTP link.

Now you need to cache your credential. Use GitHub CLI

GitHub CLI will automatically store your Git credentials for you when you choose HTTPS as your preferred protocol for Git operations and answer "yes" to the prompt asking if you would like to authenticate to Git with your GitHub credentials.

• Install GitHub CLI on macOS, Windows, or Linux.
• In the command line, enter gh auth login, then follow the prompts.
