推送到Azure DevOps git存储库：GCM：NullReferenceException

Question

I installed GCM (Git Credential Manager) on my Windows OS. Using it I can push to GitLab and Bitbucket repositories, successfully. But about Azure DevOps :

>git push Azure master
fatal: NullReferenceException encountered.
   Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Then prompt for username (independent of GCM).

With trace:

>SET GIT_TRACE=1

>SET GCM_TRACE=1

Another note is that I can push to Azure remote , with Visual Studio Team Services plugin for IntelliJ IDEs .

Answer 1

I updated GCM from v1.18.0 to v1.18.2 and the problem solved:

I think it was relevant to this BugFix on v1.18.1 :

Fixes Null Reference exceptions when parameters or contentType are not populated

Answer 2

Hy

I had the same problem with all of my Azure-DevOps-Repos since today. I believe this refers to the change from Visual Studio Team Services to DevOps.

My workaround was following:

1. I reconfigured GIT to save credentials:

git config --global credential.helper store

2. I signed in my DevOps-Account and created a new personal access token

3. I opened one of my repos and executed another fetch

After the NullReferenceException prompt, I entered my username and pasted the created access token inside the password prompt.

Now, on each interaction with the remote i get two NullReferenceException-Prompts but it works now for all of my Azure-DevOps-Repos...

I don't know how this will behave with other Repo-Services like GitHub and so on. I do only use Azure...

This is only a quik and dirty workaround. So I would appreciate if someone could share a better solution.

Thanks
