Microsoft Git-Credential-Manager

Question

I'm using Microsoft Git-Credential-Manager for Linux (Ubuntu) for a couple weeks, with some credentials, and now I need to push modifications to a different repo with different credentials. But I can't do this, because GCM is trying to use incorrect data to access this repository.

How do I change these or add new ones in order to be able to commit to different repos with different credentials? Is it possible?

Answer 1

You can use git credential manager command to delete the entry for a given remote host.

git credential-manager reject <url>

Once the entry is deleted, you would be able to store new credentials.

You can store ( git credential-manager store ) one credential per host and user: that will be valid for all repos owned by said user.

For a credential per repository, as seen in Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows/issue 749 , use (for Windows or Linux) the git config credential.useHttpPath , explained in git credentials .

 git config --global credential.useHttpPath true
