Git Windows Disable password prompt UI but get password prompt from shell

Question

In git bash for windows, the username and/or password is asked in a separate UI popup prompt like below.

On Hitting Cancel you get the below shell based prompt

Answer 1

Try to blank the variable core.askPass globally (in your config-file)

$ git config --global core.askPass ""

or use the -c switch to override it just for one command

$ git -c core.askPass="" clone 

see: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials

Note: un-setting the core.askPass by using git config --global --unset core.askPass doesn't help. It needs to be set to an empty string like above.
