Unable to see or work with some of your repositories?

[shiftkey]

I'm opening up this issue to capture the current limitation the port has about working with some repositories that the main application does not.

• I cannot see repositories in the "Clone a Repository" view that I have access to on GitHub
• I cannot push commits to an organization repository, and instead see a generic authentication error

Why does this happen?

This happens because GitHub Desktop is an OAuth application, but the Linux port does not use the same details as the main application. And organizations may have enabled OAuth App access restrictions which affects the access of this app.

What can we do to address this?

This is being tracked in #72, so please follow along with that discussion.

I'm trying something new and moving these into docs alongside the other known issues. See #552 for the relevant changes.
