Github Windows 'Failed to sync this branch'

Question

I am using Github Windows 1.0.38.1 and when I click the \'Sync\' button after committing, I get the error

Answer 1

Have you changed your Windows password recently, or at least the one you use to connect to your proxy?

This was my problem, and git status couldn't help me. I had to change my login credentials in the ".git/config" file to get past this error.
