Git Credential Manager for Windows won't go away

Ryan Long

I want to get rid of Git Credential Manager Windows so that it stops popping up.

It seems to popup everytime sourcetree requests an update from my bitbucket account.

I have version 2.1.10.0  of Source Tree,

 

I have tried numerous things to get rid of the prompt like:

1.  Authentication tab in tools and both Oauth and Basic password resets.

2. Working with Git Credential Manager directly.

 

Nothing seems to work.

I saw in a forum to upgrade to   version 2.5.1 (public alpha) to solve this problem as it is identified as a bug, but I don't want to wipe out my current repositories with an upgrade.

Will upgrading wipe out my repo's?  Is upgrading to version 2.5.1 the best solution?

You can turn off the credential manager by running git config --edit --system and remove helper = manager and save the change. Also run git config --edit --global and under [core] enter askpass =
