How to enter GitKraken auth code in VS Code fork (Windsurf)

[jsbg-hs]

Description

I'm using GitLens inside a VS Code fork (Windsurf), and when I try to sign in, I'm taken to a GitKraken login page that shows me an auth code — but there's nowhere in the app to enter it.

GitLens appears to have removed the ability to manually input the code, relying instead on a redirect-based authentication flow through vscode.authentication. This doesn't work in all VS Code forks, and the fallback code flow is effectively broken without a manual entry option.

If manual code entry has been deprecated, the extension should either:

• avoid showing the code entirely when running in environments that can't handle the redirect, or
• reintroduce a manual entry method via the command palette or settings.

As it stands, authentication is currently not possible in alternative VS Code environments like Windsurf.

Hi @jsbg-hs , I just tested this with GitLens 17.0.3 and Windsurf 1.6.5 and was able to see the authorization code input.

If you try to sign in to GitLens again, do you see this input appear? It can be closed accidentally and only appears after trying to sign in again.

I see it now after I click on the dialog to open the link!
