R2robot: long story not worth telling, but i use TorBrowser for anything to do with my gmail address, which is what i used to sign up for GH a long time ago.

R2robot: i believe it does. but if i want to use a different browser for GH Desktop auth than my daily driver, that seems pretty cumbersome (i.e. do I really have to go to System Preferences > General > Default web browser and toggle the pulldown menu there *every time*??)

trying again… anyone know how to configure the default browser (e.g. used for sign-ins) for GH Desktop on macOS?

FWIW, i tried the steps described at <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19907152/how-to-set-google-chrome-as-git-default-browser>, but GH Desktop *still* insists on pulling up a different browser

on macOS, what's the right way to configure GH Desktop's default web browser? i tried adding [web] and [browser] entries to ~/.gitconfig (with GH Desktop _not_ running), but GH Desktop still insists on using a different browser than the one i specified there.
