Bitbucket, Windows and "fatal: could not read Password for"

Question

I recently reinstalled Windows and I have a problem with downloading files from repository.

I have installed GIT and Python, but when I am trying to download anything from Bitbucket I get the message:

"fatal: could not read Password for: 'https://[email protected]': No such file or directory". 

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I solved it setting a global parameter:

git config --global core.askpass /usr/libexec/git-core/git-gui--askpass 

Answer 2

Try to include your username and password in the URL like this:

git clone https://username:[email protected]/path_to/myRepo.git
