Simple issue but I'm at a loss to debug this further. I followed the setup instructions here: https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git to get my very own repository setup. I installed git-credential-osxkeychain
and placed it like so:
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel 15520 Jun 11 21:43 git-credential-osxkeychain
If I run git credential-osxkeychain
I get just as expected:
# Usage: git credential-osxkeychain <get|store|erase>
After installation, I'm prompted once, I supply my credentials expecting these to be stored in my keychain. But viewing Keychain access, I see nothing for github when I search and I'm prompted each and everytime I attempt a git push
.
I'm running 10.7.4 mac os x with git version 1.7.7.4.
Any help on this annoying problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
To update your credentials, go to Control Panel -> Credential Manager -> Generic Credentials. Find the credentials related to your git account and edit them to use the updated passwords as per the image below: I hope this helps with your Git issues. Special thanks to David who had to do the 'hard work'.
Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > Credential Manager > Windows Credentials. You will see Git credentials in the list (e.g. git:https://). Click on it, update the password, and execute git pull/push command from your Git bash and it won't throw any more error messages.
Possibly you're seeing an issue because your git is slightly out of date. I currently have git 1.7.10.4.
