I can't seem to get the Graphite VSCode extension to authenticate on my mac I click the yellow triangle and it directs me to app.graphite.com/settings/cli to authenticate with a unique token I run the
gt auth
command on the VSCode terminal and it says i'm authenticated, but the extensions still doesn't show as authenticated

hey Dan, worth a quick try: Command Palette → Developer: Reload Window. If that doesn't work, can you confirm whether the Graphite CLI works in a terminal for that same repo (
gt --version
, and then something simple like 
gt log
 or 
gt ls
). Next would be to verify whether 
gt
 is on your PATH, or if you have Graphite: Command Path set under VS Code Settings.

It's CLI version 1.8.6 (from home brew)
/opt/homebrew/bin/gt
and
/opt/homebrew/bin
is on the
PATH
g
The extension uses the top-level
authToken
field within
~/.config/graphite/user_config
for its authentication and does not support use with *alternative profiles* or the dedicated
auth
file. Could you please check
user_config
that it's there, and add it if not.

that fixed it; thanks
it would be good to have that documented somewhere; either that, or a clearer pointer because I missed it somewhere 🙂
ah - i see it under graphite.com/docs/vs-code-extension#…, but I went straight to the extensions via VSCode itself
