Panic when trying to login to GitHub #6129
Description
Describe the bug
I get an "index out of range" error when trying to login to GitHub using HTTPS protocol.
I'm running on a M1 MacBook, and installed gh cli using Homebrew.
gh version 2.14.5 (2022-08-23)
https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.14.5
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Type 'gh auth login'
- Select GitHub.com
- Select HTTPS
- See the error:
panic: runtime error: index out of range [-1]
Expected vs actual behavior
Under normal circumstances I'd expect to get a link to authenticate on a web browser.
Logs
% gh auth login
? What account do you want to log into?
