if you want push to an own server where you need to enter a password because you use ssh authentification you can do it like this:

Currently, VSCode implements git integration by spawning git. If git push works on your command line without prompting for username / password, it should work from VSCode too.

I don't know if setting up SourceTree to not prompt for a username / password is sufficient to get vanilla command line git not prompt as well.
