Git doesn't use VS Code for auth on Windows

See original GitHub issue

Testing on Windows 10 in Git Bash running in VS Code, first not GH authenticated in VS Code:

haral@… ~/Downloads/vscode (independent-ox)
$ git push --set-upstream origin independent-ox warning: could not find UI helper 'GitHub.UI*
Select an authentication method for https://github.com/':
1. Web browser (default)
2. Device code
3. Personal access token option (enter for default):

Worse, it persists even when VS Code is authenticated against GH.

Expected behavior: VS Code handles auth.

I think the Git extension just needs to ask for auth at the right time. Shouldn’t need anything from the GitHub auth side here.

@lszomoru do you foresee any issues with being first instead of last? The alternative is having us work with whoever is providing this prompt to well… not provide it in VS Code.
