Git doesn't ask me for username and password after pushing, but I am pushing to another remote












1















I have been pushing to a public repo for a long time, everytime when I do git push, I didn't have to enter username/password, the pushing process just happened instantly when I hit Enter.



Today I want to push my project to my private repo, after adding my private repo to my remote using git remote add private <url>,I tried git push but a fatal error came out and said "authentication failed, invalid username or password".



I mean, I couldn't even enter my username or password, so the username or password I have right now is probably for my public repo. So how do I make git to let me enter username and password again?

  • @AndreyAkhmetov I tried both HTTPS and SSH, neither worked. I just didn't have username/pw prompt.

You probably enabled Git Credential Manager when you installed git or the first time you pushed to a repo. Git Credential Manager caches and re-uses credentials between different push commands, so it could be re-using credentials for a different remote. Without credential manager, you would have to type in your credentials on every push.



Please follow the advice in this SO post to clear your credentials. Note the 2nd answer is specific to Windows Devices, whereas the first should work for MacOS and Linux.

    Thanks. This solved the problem like magic. Removing the credential from the vault did prompt me password entry for me.

Monofisismo

Image
Monofisismo (do grego: monos - "único, singular" e physis - "natureza") é o ponto de vista cristológico que defende que, depois da união do divino e do humano na encarnação histórica, Jesus Cristo, como encarnação do Filho ou Verbo ( Logos ) de Deus, teria apenas uma única "natureza", a divina, e não uma síntese de ambas. O monofisismo é contraposto pelo diofisismo (ou "diafisismo"), que defende que Jesus preservou em si as duas naturezas. Historicamente, o monofisismo se refere primordialmente à posição dos que (especialmente no Egito e, em menor grau, na Síria) rejeitaram as decisões do Concílio de Calcedônia em 451 (o quarto concílio ecumênico). Os membros mais moderados entre eles, porém, defendem a teologia "miafisita", que se tornou a oficial para as Igrejas Ortodoxas Orientais. Muitos ortodoxos orientais, porém, rejeitam essa classificação, mesmo como um termo genérico, mas ele é amplamente utilizado na literatura históri...

Olmecas

Image
Monumento 1, uma das quatro cabeças colossais encontradas em La Venta, com altura aproximada de 3 metros Olmecas é a designação do povo e da civilização que estiveram na origem da antiga cultura pré-colombiana da Mesoamérica e que se desenvolveram nas regiões tropicais do centro-sul do atual México durante o pré-clássico, próximo de onde hoje estão localizados os estados mexicanos de Veracruz e Tabasco, no Istmo de Tehuantepec, numa zona designada área nuclear olmeca. A cultura olmeca floresceu nesta região aproximadamente entre 1500 e 400 a.C., [ 1 ] e crê-se que tenha sido a civilização-mãe de todas as civilizações mesoamericanas que se desenvolveram posteriormente. [ 2 ] No entanto, desconhece-se a sua exacta filiação étnica, ainda que existam numerosas hipóteses colocadas para tentar resolver esta questão. O etnónimo olmeca foi cunhado pelos arqueólogos do século XX, e não devem confundir-se com os muito posteriores olmecas-xicalancas que ocuparam vários locais do México...
