I use private repositories on github and can access these quite successfully from my development PC and from some Azure VMs. I do not do anything at commend line. I do everything via TortoiseGit. These are all running windows 10.
On my second PC I used to be able to pull and push, but now it keeps asking ffor github login details, but it rejects these as invalid. I can log into github itself from the PC with the same user name and password. Any idea how I can synch with githib again on this PC ?
GitHub recently disabled password login for Git actions. YOu need to use a special app token.

I've used Github desktop for a couple of years. Today it will suddenly would not log in to my account, although I have not changed password lately. When I click login with browser I'm taken to a page that says "Git Credential Manager by GitCredentialManager wants to access your account" and that I should authorize full read and write access.
Googling this has not given me any clues to why this would suddenly happen. Do I have to start using this service to login to Github desktop or could this be a phishing attempt?
I was in the same boat. After Googling a bit, I found this post on the GitHub blog:
https://github.blog/2022-04-07-git-credential-manager-authentication-for-everyone/
Seems this is an official replacement for handling credentials in GitHub and Git Desktop.
I want to know if it's possible to connect my github enterprise account of my organization to vs code, and if so how?
I know how to sign in with a normal github account on vs code but it doesn't work for github enterprise. I already looked up online but couldn't find any answers.
In the vs code settings there is an option called github enterprise: Uri. I put there the url of my github organization "github.organizationname.com" but I don't know what else I need to do.
Here's what worked for me on vs code 1.62.3.
Clone the GitHub Enterprise repo outside of vs code (ie, using git cli in a terminal or GitHub Desktop).
In vs code, open the folder containing the cloned repo.
And just like magic, it works. If you click on the source control tab in vs code, you can pull changes and make commits. Actually, it might not work quite yet if your cloned project doesn't have your personal access token saved. If you need to do that, you can find instructions in this answer to a different question
I have set it up in the vscode settings like so:
Then it asked for my personal access token. This is token can be created under "settings" -> "developer options"
see: https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server#3.4/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token
It is possible to login using GitHub enterprise from VS Code without using personal access token or SSH keys. User can login by SSO if session already exist in browser else will need to sign in using their credentials. One of the ways to achieve this is to install Git Credential Manager. Git Credential Manager (GCM) is a secure Git credential helper built on .NET that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Compared to Git's built-in credential helpers (Windows: wincred, macOS: osxkeychain, Linux: gnome-keyring/libsecret) which provides single-factor authentication support working on any HTTP-enabled Git repository, GCM provides multi-factor authentication support for Azure DevOps, Azure DevOps Server (formerly Team Foundation Server), GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab.
For installing GCM based on OS follow the given link:
https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager
Once GCM is installed and you try to clone a repository you will be able to see Enterprise login page. This can be achieved by using other Git Oauth Authorized Apps such as GitHub CLI.
Another option is to access with you microsoft email and then , the Github enterprise signing option will be added in "Account" just click it and you now will have access to GithubEnterprise

Hello community can you please help me out, not very knowledgeable in this area
I got an email from git saying that personal password is no longer gonna be supported and that team city was using it so I went into GitHub and generated a token and added to the VCS in the, after our next deploy I got an email from GitHub saying, you are still using the password dummy, so I asked our server guy to update TeamCity as we were several versions behind, so he did and we ran a deploy again today. I pay a visit to the VCS again and saw my Authentication method was set to Password/Token. I got no email from GIT this time saying I was dummy and "Developer Settings/Personal access tokens" mention TeamCity has used it but TeamCity keeps saying this ▼▼▼▼ any ideas ?? Thanks.
git) https://github.com//xxxxxxxxxx is using deprecated password authentication with github.com and will soon stop working
Please consider switching to either personal access token or to SSH private key authentication.
Edit VCS root
Solution as mentioned in the error.
It is also mentioned on TeamCity documentation
You may either use SSH priv/pub keys as authentication or "Personal Access Token".
I can tell by git) https://github.com//xxxxxxxxxx that you are currently using HTTPS instead of SSH to source your VCS, so the most similar solution is GitHub Private Access Token (linked: how-to)
Go to Setting > Developer Settings > Personal Access Token and click "Generate New".
If this is a private GitHub repo, you will need to tick the "repo" scope.
On your TeamCity VCS change the password to be the Personal Access Token you generated.
Tip: since you can not view the PAT after generating nor after using on the VCS, it is recommend to set the PAT as a root configuration variable, so you can call it on this VCS, build features, or other future use.
Our client is using for Azure DevOps for code repository. I've been able to connect and pull/push code for a year without issue.
I started on a new project for this client that uses the ADO Artifacts for a NuGet store. My windows login for this project is different than my ADO account so when I build the solution in VisualStudio I get asked for credentials for the NuGet store. I enter my credentials and it immediately asks me again for creds. It does this 4 or 5 times then finally fails.
Minutes to hours later, I can no longer pull/push code from the Git repos. I've tried switching to a PAT but same result. I can get into ADO through a browser and see the repositories. I'm an org admin but can't see users and permissions during this time. If I wait a few hours, it will start working again. I verified my user is NOT locked in AzureAD. I get denied on all devices (on and off client network).
I think I've fixed the issue of the NuGet authentication but does anyone know if there's a "lock out" feature in ADO that I'm missing? If so, is there a way to "unlock" the user when this happens.
The error I get back in Git seems to be a standard failed authentication:
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://****.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/projectname/_git/repo-name/'
I have managed to finally add my devops account in sourcetree using the https://orgname.visualstudio.com path
Now I am having issues cloning the repository
I am using the path that devops gives me
https://orgname#dev.azure.com/orgname/MyProject/_git/MyRepo
but I get an error saying
This is not a valid source
The details reveal authentication issues... Yet it authenticated fine when adding the account.
What is going on? Does the azure account have to be the default account?
I managed to fix this by changing from the sourcetree embedded git to my system git Tools>Options>Git>Git Version>Select System. Afterwards when trying again it prompted me to login on my organization domain with 2 factor as if logging in on the devops web app directly.
My system Git is using manager-core for the credential management which is probably not the same system which the embedded version used.
I tried the above solutions (and more) but for me what in the end solved the problem was that the git-password I first wrongly entered when I tried to access the repo had been saved in Keychain (MacOS) and when I tried again this password was used without giving me the option to type it in again. I deleted the password to the Azure DevOps project in Keychain and then got prompted to enter the password again whereafter I pasted the Personal Access Token (!!) generated in Azure Devops and it finally worked!
It could happen when you entered wrong credentials and you don't get asked again, try this:
Go to : Sourtree->Preferences->Advance (tab)
Under: "Default usernames for URLs which do not include one:" delete your wrong credentials.
Try accessing your repo again with right credentials.
This is not the issue which caused by Azure devops. No matter https://xxx.visualstudio.com, or the URL which like dev.azure.com, they should all available git source.
For me, I just try with multi different git URLs, and found the few of URLs are failed with same error with you. But it prompt This is a git repository after I exit the SourceTree and re-configure the clone with same URL which encountered the error previously.
This seems be the most common Sourcetree problem which encountered by many users, not just the URL of azure devops that you occurred.
Check this thread, and try with its recommend way:
Open source tree, Tools -> Options -> Click on Git Tab -> Update
Embedded Git.
Or, consider the method I used: exit the Sourcetree, and re-configure the clone with same URL. (Not recommend since this can not permanently solve this issue)
