Git bash asked for my username and password and I incorrectly entered my password on accident. It won't prompt me again for my user name and password so I can't do any git commands. Is there a command I can use to have it prompt me for the username and password again.

If you are working with https, you need to remove that URL from the credential storage you are using.
See:
- "Managing Remotes / Updating credentials from the OSX Keychain Updating credentials from the OSX Keychain", if you are on MacOS
"Windows Credential Helper" for Windows (for command-line: "How to sign out in Git Bash console in Windows?")
git credential-manager reject <url>

I'm on Windows. How would I know if I'm working with https? Also what is the URL in the

@Anna By typing `git remote -v` in your repo. If the origin URL starts with `https://aserver/auser/arepo`, you are using an https URL. Then the command would be `git credential-manager reject https://aserver` (but you can also remove it through the GUI: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53493376/6309) – VonC Jan 16 '19 at 21:33

when I type `git remote -v` it shows this: `origin https://github.ncsu.edu/engr-csc326-spring2019/csc326-OBP-204-7.git (push)`. This would be a https URL, right? – Anna Jan 16 '19 at 22:10

@Anna yes, the one with the wrong credentials cached. – VonC Jan 16 '19 at 22:41
