git push origin master Missing or invalid credentials

Question

Cannot push anymore to origin master, git push origin master, since a few days, I have uninstalled git and Visual Code and reinstalled it but nothing, I'v got same error :

Missing or invalid credentials.
Error: socket hang up
    at connResetException (internal/errors.js:559:14)
    at Socket.socketOnEnd (_http_client.js:433:23)
    at Socket.emit (events.js:208:15)
    at endReadableNT (_stream_readable.js:1168:12)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:77:11) {
  code: 'ECONNRESET'
}

I do not understand this behavior, because on my other computer everything works, and no GitHub files are corrupted.

here is my configuration : Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

Need some help please !

Solution 1

I had this error yesterday using the built in terminal in VScode. My issue was that vscode was prompting me for my github username and password at the top of VScode, and not in the terminal. I just didn't see the input field and the auth connection eventually timed out in the terminal.

Solution 2

Missing or invalid credentials. Error: socket hang up.

VS code always reset the git password when you close the application. When you try to push, along with this error, there is a popup box in the top asking again the git password. Enter your git password and push again.

Solution 3

After Reinstallation you need to set your git credentails once again , add VSCode permission to github account.

before pushing to a remote repository from Vscode or git after restarting your computer , you need to set it first by running following command

git remote set-url origin <repo link>

git remote set-url origin https://<your github username>:<your password>@github.com/<your github username>/<your github repository name>.git

If this still dosen't work reloading VSCode and running this again would help.

additionally you can run the commands in git bash to commit and push changes. This works for me every time

is this a post to promote gitkraken? Your issue is with credential/network access. The GUI tool managing git has nothing to do with the answer.

Thanks, the VScode prompt for the password is really weird.

Check the following instructions to avoid this behavior in VS Code for good, so that you can even carry out git pushs and pulls using your VS Code integrated terminal: stackoverflow.com/a/65252723/12298276. If you work with the JSON-settings file, insert the following line into it: git.terminalAuthentication: false, otherwise check the link for how to uncheck this option in the file -> settings.

In case you would like to avoid this behavior in VS Code, open the JSON-settings file and insert the following line into it: git.terminalAuthentication: false
