Question 1

How do I fix Git always asking for credentials?

Accepted Answer

You can avoid being prompted for your password by configuring Git to cache your credentials for you. Once you've configured credential caching, Git automatically uses your cached personal access token when you pull or push a repository using HTTPS.

Question 2

Why is Git asking for username and password every time?

Accepted Answer

If Git prompts you for a username and password every time you try to interact with GitHub, you're probably using the HTTPS clone URL for your repository. Using an HTTPS remote URL has some advantages compared with using SSH. It's easier to set up than SSH, and usually works through strict firewalls and proxies.

Question 3

How do I authenticate SmartGit?

Accepted Answer

To use SmartGit's OAuth authentication with your GitHub Enterprise instance, SmartGit has to be configured as Developer Application in your GitHub Enterprise instance. This can be done by every GitHub Enterprise user, from the Personal Settings, OAuth Applications, Developer Applications.

Question 4

How do I disable the credential cache in Git?

Accepted Answer

You could also disable the use of the Git credential cache using git config --global --unset credential. helper. Then reset this, and you would continue to have the cached credentials available for other repositories (if any). You may also need to do git config --system --unset credential.
