Good day,
I have worked through numerous articles and can not get my Github account set up with a PAT in SourceTree.
I am running Windows 10 and SourceTree V3.4.8
Amongst others I have tried the following:
Deleted all cached logins in Windows Credential Manager.
In SourceTree deleted and re-created my Github account.
Set auth type to Basic.
But still when doing a Push in SourceTree I am getting the following.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. Please use a personal access token instead.
remote: Please see https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/ for more information.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/xxxxx/xxxxx/'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where in SourceTree should I save my Personal Access Token? In the password field?
What kind of authentication should be selected? Basic? I assume.
I do not get the prompt for user & password when doing the Push.
Why is this so damn hard to setup in SourceTree? :)
Thank you all in advance :)
