I use SourceTree with a local Mercurial server, the problem is that SourceTree is asking to authenticate at each operation. By example, for a clone it can be 10 times entering user/pwd ...

Though, I enter user/pwd and checked the "remember" checkbox, it continue to ask.

I have see that I can use SSH, but I have no access to the repository web page (it is a local server) to setup the SSH key.

1 - I tried to setup an account in SourceTree using Options>Authentication Using the option "Bitbucket server" and entering our server URL. In fact, with this method I can even enter my password, it just failed !

2 - By using an URL like this : https://username:password@serverurl

3 - Using the Windows Credentials Manager !

4 - I edited the .hgrc file

Does someone has an idea ?

  • Hi, it is not a duplicate because all the proposed solution does not work here !! – CDZ Mar 13 '17 at 10:53
  • I'm not sure it's possible to say more without knowing what about them doesn't work, because these are the normal ways of automating authentication in Mercurial. – Reimer Behrends Mar 14 '17 at 19:52
  • Thanks for your comments. I have edited the question to add more information. All I want is to connect to my local mercurial repo with entering the user name and password each time ! – CDZ Mar 15 '17 at 10:52

I was unable to solve the issue, then I use TortoiseHG and this tool works ! So, it looks like a bug in SourceTree !

You can also switch for SourceTree version 1.6.23, this one will work.

This solution on the Atlassian Community solved the issue for me (edited for typos and clarity):

For all who are using SourceTree under Windows OS and Mercurial as Versioning tool and want to get rid of the boring popup asking for your credentials:

  1. Start cmd shell as admin
  2. Change path to where git-credential-manager.exe as been installed (normaly under ~\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_extras)
  3. Call "git-credential-manager.exe store"
  4. In the next lines fill in:
    protocol=https
    host=code.domain.name
    username=yourLoginName
    password=yourLoginPassword
  5. Press return again for a new empty line. If you don't get any message, everything is okay.
