For all how are using Sourcetree under windows OS and Mercurial as Versioning tool and want to get rid of this boring popup for asking your for credentials: * start cmd shell as admin * Change path to where git-credential-manager.exe as been installed (normaly under ~\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_extras) * call "git-credential-manager.exe store" * in the next lines fill in: protocol=https host=code.domain.name username=yourLoginName password=yourLoginPassword then press return for a new empty line. If you don't get any message, everything is okay.

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

For all how are using Sourcetree under windows OS and Mercurial as Versioning tool and want to get rid of this boring popup for asking your for credentials:

start cmd shell as admin
Change path to where git-credential-manager.exe as been installed (normaly under ~\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_extras)
call "git-credential-manager.exe store"
in the next lines fill in:
protocol=https

host=code.domain.name

username=yourLoginName

password=yourLoginPassword

then press return for a new empty line. If you don't get any message, everything is okay.

Michael, when I ran `git-credential-manager.exe store` nothing happened. The command line was just blinking.

That is what he tried to explain. You just type in the host= stuff and then the next couple lines.

This suggestion didn't work for me, unfortunately.

However what DID work was including my username/password in the repo URL. e.g. https://username:password@repo-domain.com/repo-path.

Don't forget to URL encode your username/password!

I'm using SourceTree 2.0.19.1 w/ an embedded version of Mercurial on Windows 10 and hosting my repo on IIS via hgweb.cgi. The Git Credential Manager kept popping up whenever I tried to clone/pull my repo.

Same problem here, but this solution does not work for me.

Thank you. That helped me. Also I want to mention another path to achieve this. You may just open Manage Windows Credentials->Windows credentials tab and add new credential under Generic credentials. In domain field you should write "git:<your.domain.name>" and of cause then add password and username as well. My mistake was that I put just "my.domain.name" without "git:" part.

This worked for me as well

How is this so difficult to find. We upgraded this morning and its taken me over an hour to find your 5 min fix! Thanks so much!

This finally worked for me as well, but only after uninstalling SourceTree and GitCredentialManager and removing the Atlassian and SourceTree folders in \Appdata\Local\

I then reinstalled SourceTree and removed and readded the remote.
