Not auth with GitHub #71

Closed a-alfonso closed 2 years ago

a-alfonso commented 2 years ago

Hello.

I just donwloaded your "VisualGit" extension because i needeed a VB6 IDE solution to connect it to git and github.

The problems come when I try to upload a "test" proyect to my remote repository using the "push" button. image

When i fullfill the next pop-up window it does not auth me, it just reload the pop-up again and again in a infinite loop without any error or waning message. image

I'm using my github user and password. I am doing something wrong? Do i need to add/modify something in somewhere?

Regards.

You can't use a GitHub password with HTTPS Git operations. You'll need to create a Personal Access Token and use that as the 'password' for your HTTPS operations. This is to keep your account password secure and is a feature/limitation of GitHub, not Visual Git.

Oh, now is working! A lot of thanks for the help

Alternatively, you can use an SSH remote. There's no interface to set a key explicitly, but it'll use an agent you have configured; Pageant from PuTTY will work.
