Sourcetree 3.3.9

[Deleted user]

Hello I have installed SourceTree for the first time, I have then added an account using my GitHub credentials using GitHub host: protocol is set to https, credentials set to basic using my set username and password which authentication thereafter reads as “OK” thereafter I can see all the remote company repositories available, the issue for me is thereafter, when I select CLONE against any repository in my list, I am taken to the respective clone form, however on closer inspection , the initial (top) text field which contains the  GitHub https link to the respective repository, displays a (this is not a valid source path/URL) and if I expand on the issue it states the following:  “Command: git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false --no-optional-locks ls-remote https://github.com/loqusgroup/openfleet-ui.git

Output:

Error: remote: Invalid username or password.

fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/loqusgroup/openfleet-ui.git/'

has anyone had the same issue, or knowns how to resolve this problem, any help much appreciated

thanks

Hi @[deleted] ,

I quickly checked by adding a GitHub account using basic auth in my source tree, but I can't seem to add it. I see Deprecating password authentication page that says "GitHub no longer supports basic authentication using a username and password. Instead, we recommend using personal access tokens or the web application flow".

I later tried with OAuth with https protocol and it worked. You might have to connect using OAuth.

Hope it helps!

Thanks,

Reshma
