Answer 1

I was having this issues while cloning the repo, was struggling for few days on this issue in MAC osx environment. I have also recently changed my account password.

Sharing the solution that worked for me: (comment all the proxies and un comment the required one alone)

1) installed the SSH key as mentioned above.

2) open all the scripts having the proxy configuration in text pad and tiled them. 1).bash_profile, 2).gitconfig, 3) .npmrc 4).curlrc

3) comment all the proxy setting lines in all files by adding # in front

4)uncomment the one which is required - for me , i was doing a git clone from a secure server, hence i uncommented the [https] proxy line in .gitconfig file.

5) execute the clone command again, prompted for username and pass and clone was sucessful.
