Authentication Fails When Cloning TFS repo with Git

Question

I have always created local repositories using this command:

git clone http://TFSServer:8080/tfs/Scripts/_git/ProjectName

However, when I do it at the moment I get this message:

Cloning into 'ProjectName' ...

fatal: Authentication failed for 'http://TFSServer:8080/tfs/Scripts/_git/ProjectName/'

---

When starting up Visual Studio Code I see this error:

unable to get local issuer certificate

and when trying to push to TFS from VSCode (which I have always been able to do in the past), I see this error:

Authentication failed on the git remote

---

After checking the repo permissions, I can see that I have full permissions:

Answer 1

It turns out that this only started happening after I needed to change Windows logon password.

The password was updated locally and on the TFS server, but not in the cached credentials for git.

Fix

Control Panel -> Credential Manager -> Generic Credentials

Then update the password for git:http://ServerName:1234/

Now I can successfully access the repo from command line and VS Code.

Answer 2

Please check the Git repository 'ProjectName' permissions to see whether you have the Read permission, or grant your account the Read permssion:
