Authorizing DrupalPod with git.drupalcode.org fails silently for new users

Thanks for opening this issue @dalin - All of us helped people who had this class of problem at the mentored contribution at Drupalcon Portland 2024.

@shaal this is a key problem when doing mentoring. Any thoughts about how to proceed with this?

Thanks to @dalin for noting this and pursuing it. It does seem that this isn't a Drupalpod issue, or at least one that can be resolved in Drupalpod, so we need to be explicit about this for both new gitlab users and new Drupal.org users during the contribution workshops. @dalin has provided the exact steps to resolve.

The core of this issue appears to be related to Drupal users who have not accepted the Drupal Terms of Service (TOS).
I've found a way to replicate the problem that new users might encounter:

• Visit https://gitpod.io/user/integrations
• Locate the line that says "GitLab (git.drupalcode.org)"
• Click on the three vertical dots to its right and select "Disconnect"
• Go to https://git.drupalcode.org and ensure you are signed in
• Navigate to https://git.drupalcode.org/-/users/terms
• Click on "Decline and sign out"
• Attempt to open any Drupal project with Gitpod (e.g., https://gitpod.io/#https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupalpod)

For users who want to quickly resolve this issue, follow these steps:

• Visit https://git.drupalcode.org and ensure you are signed in
• Navigate to https://git.drupalcode.org/-/users/terms
• Click on "Accept Terms"
