Git push fails to authenticate: Found 0 accounts in the store for service=https://github.com.

Version

2.4.1

Operating system

Linux

OS version or distribution

Linux 4.15.0-213-generic (Ubuntu, Ubuntu 18.04.6)

Git hosting provider(s)

GitHub

Other hosting provider

No response

(Azure DevOps only) What format is your remote URL?

None

Can you access the remote repository directly in the browser?

Yes, I can access the repository

Expected behavior

git push authenticates. I tried:

pass init <gpg_id>
git-credential-manager configure
git push

Actual behavior

I get asked for a Username/password or PAT.

I have verified that ~/.password-store/.gpg-id contains my gpg id (I've done every variation of pass init short form of keyid, long form of keyid, full keyid, and key email. I have verified that the gpg id on github is correct. I verified that git-credential-manager diagnose was all good.

Ok, maybe there's something weird with this being an SSH machine. Maybe a local install will work, with dpkg -x and putting pass and git-credential-manager on my local path:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled pass. I have unconfigured, uninstalled, reinstalled, and reconfigured git-credential-manager. Verified with which that I'm getting the correct executables.

same issue

I then made a personal access token on github and authenticated that way. It works, but I can see the password store at

Password Store
├── git
│   └── https
│       └── github.com
│           └── Jacob-Stevens-Haas

just has my PAT in it, beginning ghp_. On my machine where GCM works, the password store begins gho_

Start with the reported git-credential-manager configure and GCM_TRACE=1 git push flow, focusing on the GitHub credential lookup and pass-backed store shown in the trace. Compare the failing Ubuntu 18.04 setup with the working store entries; done means the configured account is found and GitHub push authenticates without falling back to username/password or a new PAT prompt.
