Cannot determine the organization name for this 'dev.azure.com' remote url
GitAzureVisual StudioAzure DevopsGit Problem Overview
So i just updated to a new Visual studio version and I'm no longer able to push/pull from/to my azure git repo (cloning works fine).
The exact error I get is
> Cannot determine the organization name for this 'dev.azure.com' remote
> url. ensure the credential.usehttppath
configuration value is set,
> or set the organization name as the user in the remote url
> '{org}@dev.azure.com'.
and only the pull command shows me this error, all the others are failing with git fatal error. I messed with my Credentials Manager cos i suspected it might be the one causing the problem but no luck..
Git Solutions
Solution 1 - Git
What fixed the issue for me is going to Tools > Options > Source Control > Git Global Settings, there I changed all 4 dropdowns which were still selected as "Unset":
- Prune remote branches during fetch - False
- Rebase local branch when pulling - False
- Cryptographic network provider - OpenSSL
- Credential helper - GCM Core
Note: These are the settings my organization requires. You might have to tweak them around according to your exact issue.
Solution 2 - Git
Okey, i just updated git for windows git update-git-for-windows
with git bash. Then selected the new non deprecated credential manager when installing and now it works fine.

Ok, so I encountered this problem today when I updated VS2019 to 16.9.6 (from 16.8.x). I tried the recommended answer and that failed - very strangely, actually, VS refused to persist my changes to the GIT global settings (let me change them in the dialog, but fetch/push still failed, and when I looked at the settings again, they were back to "unset"). I tried another answer above, updating gcm-core, but still made no difference. In the end I removed git entirely, then reinstalled the latest version (2.31.1) - and suddenly it worked.
Since I was so frustrated by this experience, I thought I'd post what finally worked for me, in case it helps someone else.

Installing the latest version of Git Credential Manager Core resolved the issue
