Can't push git, visual studio. Git failed with a fatal error. fatal: HttpRequestException encountered

Question

Here is my error on visual studio. I can't figure out if there is a config to fix this. Additionally I am restricted from installing git command line tools.

Error encountered while pushing to the remote repository: Git failed with a fatal error. fatal: HttpRequestException encountered.    An error occurred while sending the request. error: cannot spawn askpass: No such file or directory fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled 

Answer 1

Cause: GitHub updated their security requirements on the server side. They no longer support TLS 1.0 and 1.1, only 1.2. Older Git Credential Manager for Windows versions used 1.0.

Solution: Update Git for Windows. Version 2.14.3 and newer include an up-to-date Git Credential Manager for Windows.

Alternatively you can update only the Git Credential Manager for Windows itself. It supports TLS 1.2 from version 1.14.0 onwards.
