I have my credentials (username/nick (not email) and password) and bitbucket link at keychain but still asks for the password when i use git pull. In the link area i have the HTTPS that appears when i do git pull. I am using my nickname because everytime i enter my password in terminal i receive this message:

A keychain cannot be found to store "nickname"

But when i do git pull it asks for the password with that config at keychain.

Now i dont know if i should be using my email instead of my nick, that is also not working in keychain.

I have also did,

git help -a | grep credential-

and it appears several credentials where i have osxkeychain also, but when i do,

git help credential-osxkeychain

i get this,

No manual entry for git-credential-osxkeychain

then if i try to,

git credential-osxkeychain set

or

git credential-osxkeychain erase

it simply doesnt show anything and i have to do CTRL+C to exit.

Note that when i do,

git credential-osxkeychain

i get,

usage: git credential-osxkeychain <get|store|erase>

So what credentials should i use, the nickname instead of email? If not what could be the problem?

  • It seems a pretty obvious that i already pass through that ... – marafado88 Dec 13 '16 at 17:21
  • I'm simply linking to the docs, not saying you didn't read them. might be helpful to those passing by. – Kevin B Dec 13 '16 at 17:22
  • ah ok Kevin sorry, i have saw already that one and a lot more but i have not figure it out – marafado88 Dec 13 '16 at 17:25
  • are you using the ssh bitbucket url? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7773181/git-keeps-prompting-me-for-password – Kevin B Dec 13 '16 at 17:27
  • no, just https only – marafado88 Dec 13 '16 at 17:28
  • should you be? (not sure, don't use osx. I do use the ssh url.) – Kevin B Dec 13 '16 at 17:30
  • i think i gonna quit from using keychain and use just a plain text in config and then improve privileges and its done. I have saw some examples with ssh url but since i have keychain i was trying to use it instead of ssh url. I have also tried to use other credential.helper with the plain text and it still shows the keychain window with that error lol, i hope when i do the script to handle this it will not stop it from working! – marafado88 Dec 13 '16 at 17:41
  • have you tried to use the SSH link rather than the HTTPs link? – kgui Dec 13 '16 at 19:47

It is just a parcial response to the problem but i have found a way to avoid that warning from osxkeychain, was by removing the repo that i have made with git clone under root user and then use another user to create it, after that i have not received that warning anymore.

UPDATE1:

Here is the solution to this:
