Description

**Describe the bug**
When adding a secret that requires authentication in Github, it fails silently due to no auth functionality in the extension

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior: try adding a API_SERVER_SSH_KEY or something that requires authentication
1. With this workflow: 'access the extension from cursor or vscode'
2. Do this: 'create a new secret key or edit an existing one'
3. See error : there is no error it just fails silently.

**Expected behavior**
Ideally it should provide a way to authenticate. If there is no way to authenticate in cursor or vscode, there should at least be some error or indication that you need to login to github and/or authenticate.

**Screenshots**
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

**Extension Version**
`v0.27.2`

**Additional context**
I am running cursor
