git - TortoiseGit Credential helper never works for me -
this has been torturing me long time since first began use tortoisegit 1.8.5.
the credential helper there, never works!
i googled lot, none of methods worked, eg, tortoisegit save user authentication / credentials
yesterday downloaded , installed latest 1.8.10 hoping bug should fixed. still nothing.
can write step-by-step configuration tutorial on how enable helper tool? great thanks!
btw, there partially working method. have use advanced mode in "credential helper" dropdown list; , add new entry github repo url. can remember username.
if install git extensions (or modern git gui tools) it'll add these lines c:/users/{yourusername}/.gitconfig
[credential] helper = !\"c:/program files (x86)/gitextensions/gitcredentialwinstore/git-credential-winstore.exe\"
this says "store git credentials in windows credentials vault." if don't have line, either reinstall affected program or choose different git gui tool. (all else being equal, tortoisegit pretty awful. see https://stackoverflow.com/a/10957742/702931)
ok, you've got credential helper. how edit credentials stored? go control panel -> user accounts -> account (you're there) -> manage credentials -> windows vault (you may there) -> scroll down git:https://github.com line , click down arrow. can choose edit or delete credentials here.
