I believe it’s worth learning to use Git via the command line because It seems “closer to the metal” for me and doesn’t preclude using any of those tools also, so why not? I also prefer using Git Bash that comes with it for command line work instead of the Windows default command line or PowerShell. I’ve tried GitHub Desktop, GitKraken, SourceTree, and other programs that “include” Git automatically, but ultimately I prefer to have Git for Windows installed first so that I’m not totally dependent on a particular company’s implementation or “flavor” of Git. I did run through these steps again as I just reinstalled Windows 10 and needed to get this all set up for the rare occasion I need to work on a project in Windows. This post will cover how I install and configure Git to work smoothly in Windows.ĭisclaimer: I don’t do much web development in Windows these days, and most of this was written a couple of years ago with a few recent edits to bring things up to date. Git config -unset -global credential.Like most of the web industry, I use Git for version control, and so far I’ve mainly worked with GitHub remotes, so that’s what I’m set up for now. If you want to completely remove the credentials plug-in, you can do so from the Git command line with:
If you want to remove your stored credentials, launch Credential Manager, find your account details and delete them. If correct, your credentials will be stored and you’ll not be prompted for your username or password again for that service. On your first attempt, you’ll get a prompt to enter your credentials so they can be stored. Once installed, fire up Git and try your push or pull (or fetch or whatever) operation. Git-credential-winstore -i C:PathToGit.exe If you don’t have Git in your path (if you installed it via Cmder or similar), you can tell it where Git is installed using: Go grab the installer from the Codeplex repository. Windows Credential Store for Git is “a small helper app designed to follow the git credentials API as defined by the Git Documentation” that hooks into Windows Credential Store to allow you to store login information. In the past, I’ve used Pageant for this sort of thing but it’s not exactly straight-forward. One niggle though can be having to type in your username and password when pushing to and pulling from remote servers like TFS and BitBucket.
And it’s easy to use from the command line.
