The feature request
a ssh client can be served with a password. Normally, the GitHub Desktop app has no idea what it is and fails to do anything because it's normally a thing not encountered. This is because of the SSH password. git by itself knows what these are and can have the user enter a password before doing the requested action. But normal git is, as far as I'm aware, the only program to accept password ssh.
Proposed solution
A window appears when making requests to enter the password if git requests one. Enter it, and it starts working. simple right?
Additional context
I went to host one myself on a Steam Deck because the last time I tried to commit a project that big. It failed because of normal limits implemented in standard hosts. So I'm hosting one myself, so I don't have to deal with this. You know.
