Can't login to Github desktop

See original GitHub issue

Description

I have multiple computers on a proxy server and I can't seem to login to GitHub desktop. It for some reason allows me to still see the repositories and push/pull branches as if I was signed in, but they are not the most up to date versions. I've added the proxy server that I've read online to the .gitconfig file, however still have no luck.

Version

Latest version. Reinstalled it today to try and see if that worked but issue still there.
  • GitHub Desktop:
  • Operating system: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the app. However, it automatically loads with my repositories and the current branch I was working on.
  1. Sign in
  2. It comes up with an error saying “Failed to fetch”

Expected Behavior

Expect to be able to login

Actual Behavior

Unable to login, however I can still make pushes/pulls although it’s not using my current version of my branch.
