Git shell hints for password in OpenSSH popup

Question

I don’t know why git recently asks me for credentials in an old-fashioned OpenSSH window (by the way, I use https connection) instead of a request to the console.

This prevents me from using wincred, I always need to enter my credentials. Pretty annoying, especially when I make a typo, the console cursor disappears. How to return to default mode?

System: Windows 7

Console: ConEmu

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Use $ git config --global core.askPass ""

You can also set credentials in your config so you don't have to request them every time ( https://git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials ).

Answer 2

It can also be called Visual Studio Code . If so, just add "git.autofetch": false to your setting.json file.
