I use Github and Sourcetree on my Windows machine.
I have been into Tools - Options - Authentication
and added my Github account. I am 120% sure that my settings are correct.
However, when I try to push anything, I keep getting:
git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false push -v --tags origin develop:develop
fatal: HttpRequestException encountered.
An error occurred while sending the request.
remote: Invalid username or password.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'REPOLINK'
Pushing to REPOLINK
Completed with errors, see above.
Now, I also tried to remove the account in my settings, and then entering e-mail / password manually. Usually it will say OK and ask for my 2FA code on my phone, but for now it just fails and responds with invalid username/password.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
Still a problem. I also tried to decrease my commit size from 15k files to just 1. Doesn't work.
I managed to commit through the console (but I have to fill credentials each time).
So unfortunately this is still unsolved.
http://www.omniweb.com/wordpress/?p=1291 this person solved it, it works for me.
navigating to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree and removing (or renaming) the passwd file.
Once this file is removed, restart SourceTree and execute a fetch or something else that requires access to the repo in question. SourceTree will then prompt you for your password, rewriting the cached credentials.
This is not a very good answer, but I still wanted to show my solution now 1.5 months have gone by.
On 3 computers I've failed to get Sourcetree to work. I'm using Windows on all machines, and above problem keeps happening no matter what I do. I've tried preferences/settings, filling it on prompt...
I doubt it's my account - I use Github OAUTH in many other programs.
The day after this post, I switched to SmartGit. Works much better and no problems, and will not go back.
This is a very bad answer - but if you're ending up here from Google - this is one possible solution.
