Im trying to push to github with sourcetree but get the following error:
git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false push -v --tags origin live_version:live_version remote: Invalid username or password. fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/myname/myrepo/' Pushing to https://github.com/myname/myrepo
Completed with errors, see above.
However when I go to
tools > authentication > my github account
And click edit > refresh oauth token
A page opens and I get:
Authentication Successful
SourceTree has been successfully authenticated. You may now close this page.
It always worked but it suddenly stopped, i do not have two factor authentication. I tried deleting the account and adding it again to no avail. How can I get the connection working again so that I can push my project to github.
Sourcetree version 2.1.8.0
I found the answer here, it is a known bug for version 2.1.8+
The following steps fixed it for me:
Tools > Options > Git > Update Embedded Git
Also pushing with the command line works.
EDIT
Also adding @Latisha's answer:
1. Do the above.
2. Close Sourcetree
3. Delete AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\passwd
4. Restart SourceTree
5. Hurray!!!
I struggled with this a lot, what solved it for me on my Mac is:
- Open finder, click Cmd + Shift + g
- enter
~/Library/ - Go to
Application Support/SourceTreefolder - delete userName@STAuth-bitbucket.org
- Open KeyChain Access
- search for sourctree
- delete the 'login' item
- clone your source from bitbucket
- KeyChain will ask for you bitbucket pass
I had the same problem for Sourcetree 2.10, but with the above solution not working.
Reverting to version 2.0 solved it.
Sourcetree download archive: (https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/download-archives)
I faced this issue when i updated Embedded Git. Solved it by removing passwd file. you can find it here. then restart source tree.
AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\passwd
- Delete your saved account in tools\option dialog.
- Push or pull again, and SourceTree will ask you to input your login name and password.
I had the same problem , I Relogged In to the account solved this error for me.
I had the same problem and I fixed it by installing the latest version of git for windows
For SourceTree 2.7.6 for macOS using embedded git I followed all the suggested answers but still had the same problem.
The solution for me was to turn off two factor authentication.
Obviously not ideal, but sometimes you just need to get your work done.
On Windows try:
- Tools> Options> Authentication - delete from Git Saved Password your problem repo data (ex login@repo.com)
- Select tab with problem repo.
- Open terminal and make some git command (ex git pull origin) and you will be asked login and password. Input correct login and password. Login and password will be updated and all works again.
I just solved this problem by using an access token. I use macbook, all answers above didn't work for me. Go to your github account, click your profile image on right top corner, then click:
Settings -> Developer settings -> Personal access tokens -> Generate new token
Paste this token into sourcetree popup window, required password area, instead of typing your account password. Github uses two step verification, so you need to use a token rather than account password. Good luck! Let me know if this works for you.
I typed the wrong username (email address) when pushing and what worked for me was:
Open KeyChain Access search for SourcTree delete the 'login' item
Then go to Sourcetree > Preferences > Advanced and delete the default usernames that includes the wrong email address.
