Cannot push to github with Powershell

Question

In Powershell Console, when typing

git remote add github https://github.com/myusername/myrepo.git
git push -u github master

Powershell prompt

Username for 'https://github.com':

But I cannot enter any answer as any keypress doesn't seem to respond, is it normal ?

Note 1: I use github as name for remote because I already used origin for pushing also to bitbucket

Note 2: I am on Windows 10 and have installed Posh-Git

Are you using the ISE? If so, that doesn't offer programs the ability to read console input... I've solved this before by running Start-Process which will launch it in a new window. Or just using the console instead of ISE. — Chris N, Nov 09 '15 at 01:46

You can make the process non-interactive with:

using your username in the url:

git remote add github https://myusername@github.com/myusername/myrepo.git

using a git credential helper that will store your password for you
```
git config --global credential.helper wincred
```
