Can't access my GITHUB repository with the new desktop app

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I was running an old version of the github desktop app on my IMac (v10.9x). Since a few days this one is crashing all the time :

Process: GitHub Desktop [7815]
Path: /Applications/GitHub Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/GitHub Desktop
Identifier: com.github.GitHub
Version: Hasty Things Done Hastily (223)
Code Type: X86-64 (Native)
Parent Process: launchd [357]
Responsible: GitHub Desktop [7815]
User ID: 502

Date/Time: 2017-07-01 16:23:49.573 +0200
OS Version: Mac OS X 10.9.5 (13F1911)
Report Version: 11
Anonymous UUID: 4E50E5BA-5E1E-E5AF-AE5C-F242299BE388

Sleep/Wake UUID: 3344CADF-E24A-4908-B8D1-49A5754B6617

Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000

Application Specific Information:
Assertion failed: (tokenCount < maxCountIncludingZeroTerminator - 1), function CUIRenditionKeySetValueForAttribute, file /SourceCache/CoreUI/CoreUI-231.1/CoreTheme/ThemeStorage/CUIThemeRendition.m, line 136.

So I have downloaded the new version 0.6.2. Unfortunately I can’t connect to my existing github repository anymore (my name and email are ok in the preference menu) Message is : Repository not found However if I connect directly on github (https://github.com/rrobinet) and I sign in, and there is no problem to browse my repository.

Any idea of what should be the problem? NB: This problem was submitted to the Forum and it was recommended to open an official issue with it. Robert

@jtlowe you have to manually add them to the UI

File -> Add Local Repository

or

File -> Clone Repository

Github Desktop does not automatically track any of your existing repositories unless you manually specify them.

Hi - when I try to sign in on github desktop using my github.com account and password, I am told that ‘The user name or passphrase you entered in not correct’.

@mondweep please read this known issue as I think you are running macOS and dealing with a keychain issue.
