Sourcetree ignores github token and throws 403 error

Владимир_2ve4sc

I have generated personal token on github and entered it in password field successfully, but when I try to fetch from my repo sourcetree throws me following error:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false --no-optional-locks fetch --no-tags Room
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: unable to access 'https://github.com/daisoto/room.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

I have tried deleting my accounts from sourcetree and logging in again, but I still receive this error.

However, if I use console there is no error. Is proves that there is some error or my mistake in using sourcetree account managament.

I had the same issue and solved it in this way:

Open sourcetree, in the right click icon Settings (Repository settings) ->Remotes -> Select Origin and Edit:

Set URL/Path in the following format: <span> </span>https://<token>@<git_url>.git

I use SSH-based authentication. It works.

Thanks a lot for your solution!

Yet I have certain fear about this one, if someone gain access to your sourcetree client, they will easily find your token.

Hi @Владимир ,

Even if it's not a nice one, that was the solution that got me out of trouble.

If you'll find another solution, please share it with us.

Delete your passwd file in \AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\

I delete passwd in AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree and use token to login again. It works.
