GitLab remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied and fatal Authentication

Question

I am on mac OS unlike this post:

• 'git push origin MyBranchName' throws error "HTTP Basic: Access denied"

I have password conf

Answer 1

None of the above solutions worked for me and I don't have admin rights on my laptop, but they eventually led me to the git tools credential storage doc :

My setup Windows 10 | git version 2.18.0.windows.1 | Clone through HTTPS link

This solution works if you use wincred as credential helper :

> git config --global credential.helper
wincred

Changing the helper to "cache" should do the trick, as it will ask you to provide your credentials again. To set it to cache, just type :

> git config --global credential.helper cache

Check your update is active:

> git config --global credential.helper
cache

You should now be able to clone / pull / fetch as before.
