Jun 8 at 20:42 comment added VonC @ScottyJamison I agree. I have only known Git credential helpers used for HTTPS cloning authentication, never for SSH.
Jun 8 at 11:57 comment added Scotty Jamison Make sure you clone the repo using https, not SSH, or you'll get an error saying "Please make sure you have the correct access rights". (If you use an SSH URL, you probably have to use SSH keys instead)

add CVE
Jan 19, 2024 at 12:46 comment added VonC @Filippo True: since Git 2.38.1, you should use the git credential helper "manager"
Jan 19, 2024 at 12:41 comment added Crazy circuit I was getting the fatal: unable to access ‘...’: The requested URL returned error: 403 error. I tried to renew the public and private key removing the old ones. This seemed to solve the problem but after a while again the same problem. I used the command git config --global credential.helper manager and now it works!

update command
Apr 19, 2021 at 7:30 comment added VonC @Enrico You need a recent Git for Windows (github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases) for credential-manager-core to be recognized. Or you need to install github.com/microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-Core separately on Linux/Mac.
Apr 19, 2021 at 7:27 comment added Enrico "git: 'credential-manager-core' is not a git command. See 'git --help'."

add Git 2.29
Sep 21, 2020 at 14:55 comment added VonC @JACH That will work indeed. As seen in stackoverflow.com/a/39608906/6309, or in command-line: stackoverflow.com/a/48415708/6309
Sep 21, 2020 at 14:51 comment added JACH For some reason the command to remove the credentials hung up for me. I found the credentials at Control Panel -> Credential Manager -> Windows Credentials -> Generic Credentials and removed them.
