Is there a way to save `GITHUB&#39;s user credentials` with TortoiseGit?

It prompts me the below dialog every time whenever I do a push/pull.

I would like to save my user credential information somewhere like how I did with TortoiseSVN.

TortoiseGit save user authentication / credentials

I started a github project a few weeks ago. I was able to push changes without any problems (I&#39;m using TortoiseGIT).

Suddenly today when I tried to push my changes, I got &quot;PuTTY Fatal Error&quot; &quot;Disconnected: No supported authentication methods availble&quot; error window.

Anything you can recommend to remedy the problem?

Cannot get how to perform squash rebase for the current branch. The console command would be

    git rebase -i HEAD~2

and then squash as usually. But how to do the same in TGit?

Script to initialize the case

    git init .
    touch 1
    git add 1
    git commit -m &quot;1&quot;
    touch 2
    git add 2
    git commit -m &quot;2&quot;
    touch 3
    git add 3
    git commit -m &quot;3&quot;

As a result after squashing we would have 1 commit with 3 files.

Any proposals?

Is there any configuration settings in WINDOWS to handle such case?

I&#39;ve went through the [excellent guide provided by Tim Davis][1] which is about configuring Git to work with SSH under Windows in order to produce a Git Server in order to have a main place for my DVCS. 

I am in the process of creating a clone for my project. I’ve went through all the steps till this point, but I keep getting this from TortoiseGit:

    git.exe clone -v “ssh://Administrator@127.0.0.1:22/SSH/Home/administrator/myapp.git” “E:\GitTest\myapp”
    
    bash: Administrator@127.0.0.1: command not found
    Initialized empty Git repository in E:/GitTest/myapp/.git/
    fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
    Success

and nothing gets cloned.

BTW: The `TortoisePLink` comes up just before this message appears and asks me: “`login as:`” ( I thought that this info is given in the command, i.e: `Administrator@blahblah`.

My home variable is set to the correct place:
From a Git Bash shell:

    echo $HOME
    /c/SSH/home/Administrator

I’ve also tried using Putty’s plink instead of `TortoisePLink` (in both Git’s and `TortoiseGit`’s installation). This time the error was narrowed down to:

    git.exe clone -v “ssh://Administrator@127.0.0.1:22/c:/SSH/Home/administrator/myapp.git” “E:\GitTest\myapp”
    
    Initialized empty Git repository in E:/GitTest/myapp/.git/
    fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I&#39;m just starting to work with Git.  I would like to use TortoiseMerge as the difftool and mergetool.

In my `$HOME/.gitconfig` I have the following sections. I&#39;ve removed the user and color sections for this question.

    [merge]
    	tool = tortoisemerge
    [mergetool &quot;tortoisemerge&quot;]
    	cmd = \&quot;TortoiseMerge.exe\&quot; -base:\&quot;$BASE\&quot; -mine:\&quot;$LOCAL\&quot; -theirs:\&quot;$REMOTE\&quot; -merged:\&quot;$MERGED\&quot;
    [diff]
    	tool = tortoisemerge
    [difftool &quot;tortoisemerge&quot;]
    	cmd = \&quot;TortoiseMerge.exe\&quot; -base:\&quot;$BASE\&quot; -mine:\&quot;$LOCAL\&quot; -theirs:\&quot;$REMOTE\&quot; -merged:\&quot;$MERGED\&quot;

If I type tortoisemerge at the Git Bash prompt it loads. It is known to be on the path. But if I type the command I get the following error.

    Rich:mygittest (master *)
    $ git difftool
    error: &#39;tortoisemerge&#39; can only be used to resolve merges
    merge tool candidates: kompare emerge vimdiff
    No known merge resolution program available.
    external diff died, stopping at readme.txt.
    Rich:mygittest (master *)
    $ 

What am I not understanding to make this work?
Tortoisemerge is installed with TortoiseSVN.

I have been using `TortoiseGit` for almost a full year now. It has been working very well for me until yesterday, when I encountered a problem. I was deleting a folder when Windows Explorer sort of crashed on me (it hung on &quot;discovering items&quot;) for over an hour, then I restarted the system.

Since that time (and I am *not* sure if the incident described has anything to do with it), TortoiseGit has stopped showing icon overlays in explorer. The behaviour is, however, not like any of the others who posted questions here, because:

&gt; In the `open file` dialogue of all programs, the icons still exist (!).

Here is a list of things I tried:

   1. I changed TortoiseGit settings to show different icons.
   2. Reinstall TortoiseGit (uninstall, restart, install, restart).
   3. I deleted all icon overlays starting with &quot;Tortoise&quot; in `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer 
\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers`, then uninstalled TortoiseGit, restarted the computer and reinstalled TortoiseGit.


----------


**Edit:**

I tried to create a new user on my computer, and the new user has icon overlays working just fine. I am now even more confused.

Nothing helped so far. Any ideas?

I just started to work on Git. I use windows 7 and has installed msysgit(1.7.8) and Tortoisegit(1.7.6).
The repository is created on Linux server which is accessible thru LAN. The issue I&#39;m facing is I&#39;m not able to clone the repository using Tortoisegit, it asks for password and I&#39;m not sure what password it is asking.
At the same time I could clone the repository using Git Gui and do all operations.
Can anybody please help me on understanding why Tortoisegit is asking password when Git Gui doesn&#39;t.
I tried uninstalling Git and Tortoisegit and then install again but no success.

&gt; Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref
&gt; &#39;refs/heads/feature/Sprint4/ABC-123-Branch&#39; from the remote, but no
&gt; such ref was fetched.

This error is not coming for any other branch.&lt;br&gt;The special thing about this branch is that it is created from the previous commit of another branch.

Remove saved credentials from TortoiseGit

We just updated our git repos to a new location and I&#39;m using TortoiseGit with some uncommited changes.  Can I change the folder reference anywhere?  I&#39;m not seeing the option in the context menus.  I&#39;d rather not recreate and merge if avoidable since there are about 14 repos in total.  I&#39;m not well versed in git so please let me know if the question is flawed as well.
