Problem GVFS clone from GitHub.com

When trying to clone a github.com repository it fails because didn't determine an authentication method:

PS C:\Users\jigt\Documents\Workspace\Partial-Clone-POC\GVFS\POC\GitHub> gvfs clone https://github.com/jigt-gft/gvfs-poc.git
Clone parameters:
  Repo URL:     https://github.com/jigt-gft/gvfs-poc.git
  Branch:       Default
  Cache Server: Default
  Local Cache:  C:\.gvfsCache
  Destination:  C:\Users\jigt\Documents\Workspace\Partial-Clone-POC\GVFS\POC\GitHub\gvfs-poc.git
Authenticating...Failed. Run 'gvfs log C:\Users\jigt\Documents\Workspace\Partial-Clone-POC\GVFS\POC\GitHub\gvfs-poc.git' for more info.
Cannot clone because authentication failed: Unable to determine if authentication is required

There is any option to authenticate to GitHub.com?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @jigt-gft . GitHub does not support the GVFS protocol. If you're interested in experimenting with VFS for Git, you'll need to use Azure Repos as your remote.

Thank you for the answer. It's possible to use VFS for Git in a GitHub enterprise server managed by us?

Thanks!

@jigt-gft No, I don't think the GVFS protocol is enabled in GHE either.
