I have a simple batch file "clone.bat" withe the following script.

cd %1

c:\Program Files\Git\git-cmd.exe" git clone %2 --branch %3

exit

While running the batch file I pass 4 parameters. %1 : local repo path, %2 : remote repo path, %3 : branch name , and %4 as password

I expect that when the Git command runs it should accept the %4 as password. However, it asks for password on the fly which I need to avoid.

I have set of only https authentication and not using SSH.

    why don't you just generate ssh keys and put the public one in the git server? Usually this is the way to automate the git operations. – npocmaka Feb 21 '18 at 21:45

On Windows, you should not need the password as Git by default will look for it in the Windows Credential Manager:

git config credential.helper

So double-check if a password is already entered there.
