I get:

 Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt.
 error: cannot spawn santhu@6218: No such file or directory

Even when I enter the correct username and Password, I am also facing error:

Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt.
error: cannot spawn santhu@6218: No such file or directory

I also tried:

git config --global user.name "Enter Name"
git config --global user.name "Enter Email"

But no use. How can I get past this error message?

    Can you add the OS version, Git version and Git command which triggers the error message? – VonC Jun 13 '21 at 06:30

As advised here, make sure your Git is at the latest version (Windows: git update-git-for-windows, Linux: git update)

Note that config user.name/user.email has nothing to do with authentication (required for a clone/push/pull) and is only for local commit authorship.

Check if you have a credential helper set, which might have cached the wrong credentials.

git config credential.helper

And see if this error is on git clone or git push (in the latter case, that clone might have worked first)

  • git config credential. helper No Use in my local machine it well returns simply manger – Santhosh Jun 13 '21 at 13:31
  • @Santhosh OK. I left a comment above requesting the OS version, Git version and Git command which triggers the error message: do you have those information? – VonC Jun 13 '21 at 13:32
  • @well returns simply "manger": I suppose "manager": that is an old credential helper. These days, you should see "manager-core". Again, I will wait for complementary information (you can edit your question to that effect) – VonC Jun 13 '21 at 13:33

Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021.

So Please use a personal access token instead.

Please see https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/ for more information.

I was able to push my code to GIT only with personal access token.
