#74370: Building helix asks for Github credentials
-------------------------+-----------------------------

Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.12.6
 Keywords:               |       Port:  helos
-------------------------+-----------------------------
 I’m on an Intel Mac running Tahoe and there seem no default binaries
 available, thus everything builds locally. And building Helix locally
 fails because it asks for Github credentials:

 {{{

 I’m not too versed with Rust/Cargo but it looks like these lines in the
 build log point at a culprit:
