Q: Why is Git not using the GCM in some of my repositories (but instead using SSH authentication)?Ĭheck that you are using the HTTP(S) URL instead of the SSH URL for your repository. To fix this go to ‘Tools > Options > Git’ and click the ‘Use System Git’ button.

You need to configure SourceTree to use the version of Git installed for the entire system.īy default, SourceTree uses a local copy of portable Git.

Q: Why doesn’t SourceTree use the credentials in the GCM? Therefore, it strongly suggested that you restrict the configuration setting to the URL of your TFS Git host.

Once updated, the new configuration tells the GCM to only negotiate via NTLM with the host and forward Windows credentials. The Credential Manager deployment helpers ( install.cmd and GCMW-.integrated true while this configuration option continues to work, it has been deprecated in favor of specifying the correct authority. Q: Why is my distribution/version of Git not supported? Why is Git for Windows favored?

Support for Mac OS and Linux are handled by Microsoft Git Credential Manager for Mac and Linux. We can safely say that we have no interest in supporting Windows XP.Įven Microsoft has ended support for Windows XP. Q: Will there ever be support for Windows XP, Mac OS, or Linux?

#Sourcetree authentication failed after password change windows 7#

NET means using Visual Studio (which we love anyways) and using Visual Studio means Windows 7 or newer. Well, because it is our favorite IDE and in order to support Azure DevOps we had to use the Azure Directory Authentication Libraries which only have multi-factor interactive logon support in their. The Git Credential Manager does not work on Windows XP, Max OS, or Linux because we had to scope our work and we decided to support the same operating systems that Visual Studio support. Q: Why doesn’t Git Credential Manager work on Windows XP, Mac OS, or Linux? If you’re looking to extend the GCM, or need a way to authenticate with VSTS but cannot leverage the GCM directly, then it is likely what you’re after. It supports the core authentication library and the VSTS specific components. This mean, in general and for the vast majority of users, the GCM does not help with SSH passwords or certificates.įortunately, the Posh-Git support automatic startup of ‘ssh-agent.exe’ which does assist with SSH certificate password caching. Unfortunately, OpenSSH will only interact with an askpass helper if there no TTY detected (no console available). The Git Credential Manager supports caching of SSH key password through git-askpass. Q: Why am I not seeing my SSH keys being saved?

If you’ve decided this a per repository setting, cd to your repo and in that repo run git config credential.modalprompt true.

If you’ve decided this is a global setting run git config -global credential.modalprompt true.

Update your settings, so that Git Credential Manager knows to display a dialog and not prompt at the command line:.

Start your favorite shell (CMD, PowerShell, bash, etc.).

Decide if you want this to be a global setting (all of your repositories) or a local setting (just one repository).

To avoid being asked for your credentials on the command line, and instead be asked via a modal dialog you’ll need to configure the Git Credential Manager.

When it does so, it cannot respond to the command line prompts for username and password like a real user can. Most likely reason is that your GUI “shells out” to git.exe to perform Git operations. Q: Why does my GUI freeze when I push, pull, or fetch? You can configure Git to use the Credential Manager by running git config credential.helper manager.

If you do not see the line, then you know that Git does not know about the Git Credential Manager. You can verify that your environment is configured correctly by running git config -list and looking for credential.helper=manager. Most likely, your environment is not configured correctly.
