What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Perform `gcloud source repos clone <repository>`
2. Open GitHub Desktop
3. Add the repository and sync it. It will fail with the following error:

git: 'credential-gcloud.sh' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It would be great if it would work.

Please provide any additional information below.

Changing the PATH of Mac OS X for GUI applications is only possible through ugly hacks or launching them from a terminal.

The best fix I found was to set a full path in the git configuration as follows and I think this could be easily done while gcloud is cloning it:

git config credential.helper /<PATH-TO-GCLOUD-SDK>/bin/git-credential-gcloud.sh
