How to undo git config --system core.askpass git-gui--askpass

Question

Ran that command when trying to fix a problem I was having with git push. It prompts me every time I git push and I have no idea how to disable it.

Answer 1

Try running:

git config --system --unset-all core.askpass

to remove that configuration. You can then run git config --system --list to view the full list of system configurations to ensure it's gone.

Answer 2

Seems like you can edit your git config file:

First, a quick review: Git uses a series of configuration files to determine non-default behavior that you may want. The first place Git looks for these values is in an /etc/gitconfig file, which contains values for every user on the system and all of their repositories. If you pass the option --system to git config, it reads and writes from this file specifically.

The next place Git looks is the ~/.gitconfig (or ~/.config/git/config) file, which is specific to each user. You can make Git read and write to this file by passing the --global option.

Finally, Git looks for configuration values in the configuration file in the Git directory (.git/config) of whatever repository you’re currently using. These values are specific to that single repository.

Each of these “levels” (system, global, local) overwrites values in the previous level, so values in .git/config trump those in /etc/gitconfig, for instance.

Git’s configuration files are plain-text, so you can also set these values by manually editing the file and inserting the correct syntax. It’s generally easier to run the git config command, though.
