Step 3
Connect GitHub
You configured your commit author information in the Git installation step. If VS Code later asks you to sign in to GitHub, complete the authentication in your browser.
Check your GitHub account
If you do not have a GitHub account, follow the GitHub account setup guide first.
To change your commit author name or email, return to Set your commit identity in the Git installation guide.
Git records the author information you configured earlier in commits. In the browser sign-in window, check which GitHub account you are using.
Sign in when prompted
VS Code may ask you to sign in when you clone a private repository or push to GitHub. If prompted, choose the browser sign-in option and authenticate with the GitHub account you intend to use.
Return to VS Code when browser authentication is complete. If you have not seen a sign-in request yet, continue to Create Repository.
