Git push: Missing or invalid credentials. fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/username/repo.git'

问题

I was trying to do my first push on a new MacBook and got this error after git push (everything worked well on my old MacBook):

Missing or invalid credentials.
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED /var/folders/tx/53fffl0j51qb47mhnlf8zsdc0000gn/T/vscode-git-1d38026c7f.sock
    at PipeConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1056:14) {
  errno: 'ECONNREFUSED',
  code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
  syscall: 'connect',
  address: '/var/folders/tx/53fffl0j51qb47mhnlf8zsdc0000gn/T/vscode-git-1d38026c7f.sock'
}
Missing or invalid credentials.

}
remote: No anonymous write access.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/username/repo.git/'

Any idea why and how I can resolve it?

回答1:

I have set up credentials by using git config user.name "your username" and git config user.password "your password", and could see these by running git config --list, what am I missing here?

Those are not "credentials": they won't help authenticate you to a remote service like GitHub.

For HTTPS URLS (https://github.com/<me>/<myRepo>), you would need to:

use a credential helper (git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain)
update the credentials from the OSX Keychain

There you would enter your actual credentials:

your GitHub user account name
your GitHub user account password (or a PAT if you have 2FA activated)

But if the issue disappear today, then this was linked to this GitHub incident.

Andreas L also mentions in the comments that trying to authenticate from an integrated VS Code terminal can be tricky.
As detailed in "git push origin master Missing or invalid credentials", and here:

If you work with the JSON-settings file, insert the following line into it:
git.terminalAuthentication: false,

回答2:

You are trying to use git from a terminal in vscode. The problem comes from the authentication handler of vscode. To solve the problem:

Open vscode File > Preferences > Settings
Search for git.terminalAuthentication
Uncheck the option

You have to re-open the terminal to make it work.

回答3:

If you're on linux, just add sudo before the command. Otherwise, you have to add administration prefix to the command.
