Sourcetree login popups after install Git Credential Manager

[joninsley]

I have installed Git Credentials Manager and ever since I get these login popups from SourceTree every 30 minutes, for every repo I have open.

All repos are on Github. I authorize the repo I'm working on then 30 minutes later I get multiple popups again.

I'm on MacOS 14.4.1

How can I fix this?

Hi @joninsley

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

This loop usually happens because Sourcetree automatically checks your open repositories for updates every 30 minutes, and its embedded Git process is clashing with your newly installed Git Credential Manager (GCM). Here are the quickest ways to fix it:

Sourcetree's built-in Git version often struggles with external credential managers. Go to Sourcetree Settings/Preferences > Git tab and scroll down to Git Version and click Use System Git.

You can also turn off the automatic background fetches in the general tab of Sourcetree.
