CredentialHelperSelector keeps popping up, how do I fix

Edited

There are tons of resolutions on when SourceTree popup which asks for credentials.  However, I could not find any fix on this specific error.  When I clone a repository in  SourceTree the following screen pops up.  I checked the radio button for a few of them and clicked Select.  This didn't anything as the popup came back.  Also, the options are repeated.  I clicked Cancel about 5-10x and the popup goes away and I move forward with Commit/Pull.  It allows me to do this but the popup keeps coming and I just hit Cancel over and over.  I have to hit Cancel about 20-30x while I commit/pull.   The popup appears randomly throughout the day and/or when I am commiting/pulling/pushing in Sourcetree.  How do I resolve this issue? 

 

Attempted the following with no luck:

1.  I followed the steps in this URL: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Sourcetree-questions/CredentialHelperSelector/qaq-p/1334704 and it still doesnt work.

2.  Avoided checking the "Git Credential Manager" checkbox during the Git for Windows installer

I was same to you. But I found the reason. I hope it will help you.

In win10, you can open the file ( C:\Users\icg_s\.gitconfig ) and remove the code:

[credential "helperselector"]
selected = s

After searching and trying a ton of solutions, this worked for me finally.

Thank you so much for your great answer!

It didn't work for me either, someone has found another solution

Two things helped me I guess.  

  1. Deleting the below sections from .gitconfig
    [credential "helperselector"]
    selected = s
  2. Setting Tools>>Options>>Git>>GitVersion>>System (click button)

The credential window came up again on my first restart of Sourcetree.  Then it didn't come up again on the second and subsequent restart.

I mostly use https instead of ssh to get around.

Thank-you. This helped me.
