Git Windows Disable password prompt UI but get password prompt from shell

Question

In git bash for windows, the username and/or password is asked in a separate UI popup prompt like below.

On Hitting Cancel you get the below shell based prompt, where the same username can be input.

Is there a way I can disable these prompts? I still do want to enter my username and password however instead of the UI based prompt, i want to enter it through the shell based prompt.

Using suggestions from this does not help. How to undo git config --system core.askpass git-gui--askpass

Answer 1

Try to set the variable core.askPass globally (in your config-file)

$ git config --global core.askPass true 

or use the -c switch to override it just for one command

$ git -c core.askPass=true clone <https_url> 

see: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials

If a helper outputs a quit attribute with a value of true or 1, no further helpers will be consulted, nor will the user be prompted (if no credential has been provided, the operation will then fail).

Note: un-setting the core.askPass by using git config --global --unset core.askPass doesn't help. It needs to be set to an true like above.

Update 2021-10-22:

The original answer proposed setting empty string "", but at least on Ubuntu this does not work and the docs also describe that the helper should output true or 1.
