Hello all, I updated from 1.8.1 to 1.9.0 then 1.9.5. All seems to work even the Github connection.

In Git configuration I see my Github user but when trying to deploy a new function, repositories are empty... Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks

TL;DR
Found the issue - web installer changed .env file formatting. Updated and ran `docker compose up -d` to resolve. User seeks better key writing method to avoid future issues.

Edit: found the issue, the web installer changed my .env from this:

TypeScript
_APP_VCS_GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"

To something like this:

TypeScript
_APP_VCS_GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY="\\\\\\\-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

I updated like before then docker compose up -d then working!

Is there a better way to write the private key instead of new lines, I remember having a lot of issue accross before all upgrades I made in the past with this Github private key...
