Improve first-time flow of Gitpod integration

Problem

When a user tries to use Gitpod for the first time, there are a couple of friction points in the process (feedback provided by @sytses):

I tried GitPod just now, this dialog was confusing, why ask me to enable something when I just clicked the button to use it? End after that I ended up in https://gitpod.io/#https://gitlab.com/mvanremmerden/gitpod-angular-demo/-/tree/master/ which didn't do anything, it felt broken. If I needed to login with GitLab it would have been great to get a heads up in GitLab (for example in that earlier dialog.

Should we rather reduce friction in this process, or should we provide more information why this friction exists and give better guidance to the user?
