SmartGit Hg “Authentication Failed”

Question

Hi already used smartGit Hg a couple of months. I have already account in bitbucket which I used already couple months already also. When I created another account in bitbucket

Answer 1

I used these SmartGit troubleshoot recommendations: http://www.syntevo.com/doc/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=6979745

Specifically, I simply redid pull / fetch of each origin from the GIT-Shell tool. It worked, and then SmartGit started to accept credentials just OK.

Previous on these thread recommendations did not work for me, and I did not want to reinstall SmartGit.

In Git-Shell:

1  git pull origin1 branch
2  git pull origin2 branch

Answer 2

I was getting a similar error while authenticating with Git over HTTPS, after much frustration I uninstalled SmartGit and deleted everything in my SmartGit AppData folder.

(on Windows Delete c:\Users\{YOUR_USER_NAME}\AppData\Roaming\syntevo\SmartGit)

Once I reinstalled, all worked fine.
