I recently updated Visual Studio Code to 1.62.1 and now git push and pull are not working. It gets infinitely stuck on trying to push/pull. The same happens with the built-in terminal. I don't get any Bash line after this command and have to Ctrl + C in order to terminate.

It was working flawlessly before the update though. So far I have checked the basic things like git being in $PATH, git config -l and git version.

I have also tested being able to push/pull from terminal. That works totally fine. In addition, this problem seems to happen with almost all versions of Git since I did test it with multiple SSH servers with Git 1.78, 2.32, and 2.17.

Hoc can I fix this?

I am on macOS v10.12.0.1 (Sierra) and Visual Studio Code 1.62.1 if that's of any help.

  • Are you sure it is 1.62.1 and not 1.62.2? [Downgrading from 1.62.2 to 1.62.1](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69979522/fix-for-fatal-authentication-failed-for#comment123761649_69979523) worked for me. – Peter Mortensen Nov 17 '21 at 21:56
  • This is a super [FAQ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAQ) (because it affects so many). A candidate for a canonical question is *[fatal: Authentication failed for](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69979522/)* (despite the unspecific title). – Peter Mortensen Nov 17 '21 at 21:56
