Right, that answers my question. I wondered whether you were doing
something silly like looking at your browser, seeing that you were logged
in _there_ and then from an entirely disconnected process (your shell)
expected the shell to know about the browser's authenticated session. Hence
"Obvious Man". I will have to bow out the conversation: I don't use
GitHubDesktop. Tried it years ago, but it did nothing for me that git/gitk
didn't give me from the CLI.

I dunno. In my experience, it's the fancy version control tools
(GitHubDesktop, Visual Studio's git integration) that seems ropy. Just
using git on the command line, the only time I've had trouble is when I
forgot to ssh-agent/pageant.exe my keys.
