Android Studio fails to push to GitHub

Question

(I am aware of prior threads, this seems to be a new problem) I upgraded Android Studio to 2021.2.1 patch 1 a couple of weeks ago. Since then, communication with GitHub is flaky:

I cannot git push; I have to close the SDK, get back in, and then -- sometimes -- it works. Error message I get:

error: unable to read askpass response from 'C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2021.2\tmp\intellij-git-askpass-local.sh'
bash: /dev/tty: No such device or address
error: failed to execute prompt script (exit code 1)
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such file or directory

Git > Show Git Log -- shows 1 line of commit from 2 months ago, doesn't see anything.

Tried generating a new token (with access to EVERYTHING) -- no sugar.

Until I upgraded everything worked wonderfully. Anyone knows what's going on? Thank you!

Answer 1

That was mentioned before, with as a (bad) workround embedding the token in the URL.

Another workaround would to try and use an SSH URL instead of an HTTPS one (which involved the Git credential helper used for providing HTTPS credentials)

As reported by the OP Yanay Lehavi in the comments, a git config --global --unset credential.helper also avoid said credential helper.
