Cant create release with git flow in source tree

Question

I'm using gitflow to create a new release but in the final step when pushing to remote on gitlab I get this error message:

fatal: could not read Username for 'https://gitlab.local': Device not configured

Have no idea why, may it be related to some settings on gitlab?

Answer 1

You can either:

• embed your username in the url

  git remote set-url origin https://{username}@gitlab.local
  

And use a credential helper to cache the password.

• or use ssh.

I like to configure those remote url changes dynamically with:

git config  url."https://{username}@gitlab.local/".insteadOf https://gitlab.local/
git config  url."ssh://git@gitlab.local/".insteadOf https://gitlab.local/

That way, you don't touch the original remote url, and modify it when you use it.
