Have you recently made the switch to a Macbook and decided to use Visual Studio Code for your coding adventures? If so, you might have encountered a rather annoying issue, as I did. Every time I opened VS Code, it insisted that I sign in to my GitHub account to sync. It was driving me crazy, and for days, I scoured the internet looking for a solution, but to no avail.
In my quest to put an end to this GitHub sign-in nagging, I stumbled upon a simple solution that’s easy to overlook. It turned out that my VS Code installation was in the wrong place all along — in my Downloads folder. Once I moved it to the Applications folder, the issue magically vanished.
Here’s how to do it in a few simple steps:
