git-credential-winstore works perfect with github and bitbucket repositories, but the prompt does not pop up while working with self hosted repositories. I can' t see what the problem is.

I' ve tried :

git config --global credential.helper winstore

via console 

[credential]
    helper = winstore

in gitconfig and created and stored the credentials manualy. Without success. Can anyone point me to te right direction please? Im using Win7.

Best regards.

  • I had to copy it to `C:\Program Files\GitExtensions\GitCredentialWinStore\` on a Windows 8 machine. Thanks for the link @kio21 – Jason Jong Feb 04 '14 at 02:46

Use "wincred" in place of "winstore". It will work. It solved same problem for me.

Execute 'git-credential-winstore.exe' and say 'yes'.

Update 2016:

Use the Git Credential for Windows: available here on Microsoft's GitHub organisation account

Install it and it just works, nothing to configure.
