Git Extensions Issues

Issue when is performed a push to a remote repo

Git Extensions has an issue when you want to do a Push operation to a remote repo. It will always nag you requesting your credentials and it becomes extremely tedious.

Push Issue

So, to solve this, you should modify the .gitconfig file located in C:\Users\[USERNAME]\.gitconfig. This file contains this structure:

[merge]
    tool = kdiff3
[mergetool "kdiff3"]
    path = C:/Program Files (x86)/KDiff3/kdiff3.exe
[diff]
    guitool = kdiff3
[difftool "kdiff3"]
    path = C:/Program Files (x86)/KDiff3/kdiff3.exe
[core]
    editor = \"C:/Program Files (x86)/GitExtensions/GitExtensions.exe\" fileeditor
    autocrlf = true
[credential]
    helper = !\\\"C:/Program Files/GitExtensions/GitCredentialWinStore/git-credential-winstore.exe\\\"
[user]
    name = [your username]
    email = [your email]

The [credential] tag should be modified with:

[credential]
    helper = !\"C:/Program Files/GitExtensions/GitCredentialWinStore/git-credential-winstore.exe\"

And after that, bye bye nag screen and welcome peace of mind. :)
