I have replaced the way I fill the git credentials store, I have verify ~/.git-credentials and information are there, the ~/.gitconfig look fine too.

I still have 401 error when reading from that file.

This is the paste log : https://paste.gnome.org/pmntlkdw0

Now that I use git approve, I dont think that I need a custom helper.

Any idea why I still can't log in using git-credential?

Thanks in advance,
