Until Sourcetree is updated to include a later version of it's embedded version of Git (2.26.2 is several releases behind now), I recommend installing Git for Windows standalone, and then set Sourcetools to use the "system version" of Git. GCM Core supports OAuth-based authentication which is the requirement from GitHub now. GitHub recently () changed their authentication mechanisms to remove username/password-based authentication, that GCM4Windows used. This explains why you're seeing the older GCM4Windows prompts, and not GCM Core.Īs to why the older GCM4Windows no longer works with GitHub. The latest embedded version used by Sourcetools appears to be Git for Windows 2.26.2, which only includes the older, and now deprecated Git Credential Manager for Windows, not GCM Core. Is it the embedded version, or the system version? Which version of Git is being used by Sourcetools? Hi you open Sourcetools and go to: Tools > Options > Git, and scroll down to the "Git Version" section. The new GCM (GCM Core, this project) supports the new authentication mechanism GitHub now require, however Sourcetree isn't using it.Ĭan you please set the following environment variables, restart Sourcetree, and then upload the resulting log file? If that's the case, then the reason is that GitHub has removed the username/password-based authentication the older GCM for Windows used to use to create authentication tokens (see here). I assume that these are images of authentication prompts you're getting whilst using SourceTree, and that entering username/password(/2FA code) in these no longer works? Something went wrong in your reply of images with GitHub - I cannot see them. That error message comes from GCM for Windows: It looks like Sourcetree is using an old version of GCM (GCM for Windows). Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt. no-optional-locks push -v -tags -set-upstream GitHub_Git_Test Git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false When my private key (stored in C:UsersMyUser.ssh) is called idrsa everything works fine: I can clone github repositories, pull, etc.

If you have further issues just pull the repo down using Git Shell initially and your issues should be fixed. Running Windows 7, SourceTree 1.5.1.0 configured to use openssh, running against GitHub.
