Description

Hello,

I'm trying to connect to Gitlab.
But it seems it is not working.

I entered my username, personal access token and gitlab server url (everything is right, I checked with another tool).
The account shows under the 'Remote' node but no repository appears.

To check if it may be a wrong username or token, I entered fake invalid values and I noticed Gittyup just shows no error at all...
So if Gitlab connection is not working there is absolutely no way to know why... (wrong credentials, wrong gitlab url, ... ?)
Is there at least any error log somewhere ?

Research direction

Reproduce the GitLab connection with valid and invalid credentials and server URLs, then inspect how the Remote connection failure is surfaced and whether any error log is available. Done means a failed connection provides an actionable error explaining what went wrong instead of silently showing no repositories.
