git push origin master Missing or invalid credentials

Question

Cannot push anymore to origin master, git push origin master, since a few days, I have uninstalled git and Visual Code and reinstalled it but nothing, I'v got same error :

Missing or invalid credentials.
Error: socket hang up
    at connResetException (internal/errors.js:559:14)
    at Socket.socketOnEnd (_http_client.js:433:23)
    at Socket.emit (events.js:208:15)
    at endReadableNT (_stream_readable.js:1168:12)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:77:11) {
  code: 'ECONNRESET'
}

I do not understand this behavior, because on my other computer everything works, and no GitHub files are corrupted.

here is my configuration : Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

Need some help please !

Answer 1

I had this error yesterday using the built in terminal in VScode. My issue was that vscode was prompting me for my github username and password at the top of VScode, and not in the terminal. I just didn't see the input field and the auth connection eventually timed out in the terminal.

Missing or invalid credentials. Error: socket hang up.

VS code always reset the git password when you close the application. When you try to push, along with this error, there is a popup box in the top asking again the git password. Enter your git password and push again.
