Launching Sourcegit in Distrobox XOpenDisplay failed

I want to use Sourcegit (https://github.com/sourcegit-scm/sourcegit) as my Git client and installed it via a distrobox (fedora rawhide) where I have git lfs and credential manager installed.
When Launching it via Terminal it will throw the error Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified and doesn't launch. (Also does not Launch when exported)
The same error occurs when launching the AppImage of Sourcegit.
The logs say the following:
Crash::: System.Exception: XOpenDisplay failed

(I just noticed that the Time is incorrect, I launched it at 16:37 not 14:37)

I really want to use Git Lfs for Gamedev.

Help is appreciated
