What's Wrong?

When I log feedback with /feedback, and at the end I'm asked to press Enter to log an issue on GitHub, for me it fails silently almost every time. I've only had it work once. Turns out, it's because my default GitHub account is actually a GitHub Enterprise account, and that account is locked down such that it cannot be used to contribute to non-organization-owned repositories. The only time I was able to get the Enter button to properly open a GitHub issue was when I happened to be logged out of my GHE account, and only my regular GitHub account was logged in.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should detect when users have multiple GitHub accounts connected and ask them to choose which one they want to use to log issues.

AND/OR

Claude Code should handle the error when it fails to log the issue, trying harder to allow the user to get the issue created from their /feedback command.

Error Messages/Logs

This fails silently, so there are no logs.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. On a machine where you are connected to GitHub using a GHE account that does not have permission to contribute to any repository other than one owned by the corporation, use the /feedback command to log some feedback.
  2. When prompted to hit Enter to open a GitHub issue, hit the Enter key.
