How in SourceTree to get rid of a window “Git credential manager for Windows”?

[khusamov]

After adding the repository, a window with the heading "git credential manager for windows" constantly pops up. Whatever I do (enter different logins and passwords, cancel), it then appears again. And in more than two copies. How to get rid of it?

I have registered the following settings in the .hgrc file, but this does not help.

[auth]
repo.prefix = http://to.my.repo
repo.username = <login>
repo.password = <pass>
repo.schemes = http

I do not have "GIT, or HG entries" in the control panel.

Hi Sukhrob,

It sounds like Windows is not saving your entry, which is why tou would continue to get the credential popup everytime you make a connection.

There are a few different solutions that have been successful listed at https://community.atlassian.com/t5/SourceTree-questions/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows-Popups/qaq-p/579905.

Cheers,

It tries to connect to https://...
And I have explicitly set http://... in the settings (file .hgrc).
Is it talking about something?

In your file you have "http" but it should probably be "https"

My repository is on http. By the https protocol it is not available.

Hi Sukhrob,

Can you go to Control Panel -> Credential Manager -> Generic Credentials. Find any GIT, or HG entries, and remove them.  Then re add a repo - you should then again get the pop up window >> add the proper creds.  Can you confirm if you continue to get the popup after that?

Cheers,
Gary

There is no such menu item in the SourceTree program. I see such items as: File, Edit, View, Repository, Actions, Tools. Where can I find the "Control Panel"?

I'm fairly certain @Garyis referring to the Windows Control Panel -- if you are on Windows 10, searching for it via the Start Menu will get you there.

I do not have "GIT, or HG entries" in the control panel (in the "Generic Credentials").
