Short summary
GitHub Enterprise sign-in remains locked to a mistyped domain with no way to edit or reset it.
Affected version or release
v1.1.12 (commit 5265222)
Installation context
Local GitHub Copilot desktop app installation on Windows x86-64. The problem occurs during initial setup, before authentication or repository access.
What happened?
During initial setup, I selected GitHub Enterprise sign-in and mistyped the domain as ghe.microsoft.com instead of microsoft.ghe.com.
After continuing to the device-code screen, I could not return to the domain-entry step or change the enterprise domain. The only available paths were to perform a health check or return to the device-code screen.
Quitting and reopening the app did not make the domain editable or restart the sign-in configuration, leaving setup blocked.
Steps to reproduce
- Install and open the GitHub Copilot app.
- Begin the initial sign-in experience.
- Select GitHub Enterprise.
- Enter an incorrect domain, such as
ghe.microsoft.com.
- Continue to the device-code screen.
- Attempt to return to the domain-entry step and correct the domain.
- Quit and reopen the app.
- Observe that there is still no way to enter the correct domain.
Expected behavior
The sign-in flow should provide a way to go back and edit or clear the GitHub Enterprise domain.
Restarting the app before authentication is completed should also allow the sign-in configuration to be restarted.
Additional context
- Operating system: Windows x86-64
- GitHub Copilot app: 1.1.12
- App commit:
5265222
- Bundled Copilot CLI: 1.0.80
- Bundled GitHub CLI: 2.96.0
The exported health check confirms that authentication was not saved:
"auth": {
"host": null,
"login": null,
"message": "No saved GitHub authentication found."
}
The application log identifies the affected build:
GitHub Copilot app started ... version=1.1.12 commit=5265222 platform=windows arch=x86_64
I have a complete diagnostics archive and can provide it privately if needed. I have not attached it publicly because it contains local usernames, filesystem paths, ports, and environment details.
