Tortoisegit asking password

Question

I just started to work on Git. I use windows 7 and has installed msysgit(1.7.8) and Tortoisegit(1.7.6). The repository is created on Linux server which is accessible thru LA

Answer 1

Please not the URL of the repo remote origin can cause this problem. I had an old repo that worked perfectly and a new one I just cloned that was asking me for password.

Upon comparing the information in Settings > Git > Remote > Url I saw that the one which worked had:

git@github.com:githubAccount/repoName.git

The new one that did not work had an https address.

Please see screenshot below as well.
