Git-Credential-Manager

[Michael Schrading]

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:

1. start cmd shell as admin
2. Change path to where git-credential-manager.exe as been installed (normaly under ~\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_extras)
3. call "git-credential-manager.exe store"
4. 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.

[Warren Postma]

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.

[George Mihalache]

This worked for me as well

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.

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.

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!
