Cloning from local git server - checking source stuck

Marco Cornelio May 12, 2023

Bit of a weird scenario here but I will try my best to simplify the explanation.

Windows machine is on $Domain1

Local git server is on $Domain2

 

When trying to clone a repository from the local git server I am using my username from $Domain2 in the source path and I am not asked for a password. Sourcetree then begins to check the source but never finishes and seems to just spin indefinitely. I suspect that Sourcetrees default behaviour is to try and use the credentials you used when signing into Windows but unfortunately those credentials would be incorrect in this scenario. I have not seen anyway to enter a password when cloning other than if it is a cloud based git service.. i.e bitbucket, github etc.

 

Is there anyway to get around this? Or does Sourcetree just not play well with local git servers? I have no seen anyone else post any issues similar to this.

 

Thanks.

"I am using my username from $Domain2 in the source path and I am not asked for a password"

Same problem. 

Downgrade to 3.3.8 or 3.4.7
