Git credential helper - update password

Question

I\'m currently using GitHub over HTTPS and have the latest version of Git installed (1.9.0) along with the Git credential helper on Windows 7.

Answer 1

On my first attempt to Git fetch after my password change, I was told that my username/password combination was invalid. This was correct as git-credential helper had cached my old values.

However, I attempted another git fetch after restarting my terminal/command-prompt and this time the credential helper prompted me to enter in my GitHub username and password.

I suspect the initial failed Git fetch request in combination with restarting my terminal/command-prompt resolved this for me.

I hope this answer helps anybody else in a similar position in the future!
