Answer 1

My solution

Open Control Panel > Credential Manager > Windows Credentials.

Under Generic Credentials -> Add a generic credential

Inter network address: git:https://tfs.[google].com

admin:

password:

Replace google with the domain of your company. Put your EID or credentials to log into TFS.

Answer 2

Windows Credentials -> Generic Credentials

git:http://Example.com

add domain\user as user, and password

Answer 3

No matter, how your company use to log on windows, you just need the account which login in the TFS. You can find the account info in Windows-Control Panel- Credential Manager

This is what did it for me. I just opened the Windows Credential Manager as stated above and edited the credentials because some how it was stuck to my previous password.

Answer 4

If you face this error after changing password for TFS,

Go to Control Panel\User Accounts\Credential Manager

Under the Windows Credentials, Modify the password for the specific Internet or network address.

Answer 5

Finally a collegue hit the solution and I will post it here:

Use the command:

git config --global credential.http://[tfs_server].integrated true

Of course, replace [tfs_server] with your own TFS server host name.

When Credential Manager asks for credentials just leave blanks and press OK. (I this way authentication will be performed using Kerberos).

Answer 6

For myself, I went to Control Panel > Credential Manager > Windows Credentials.

I tried to delete only the Generic Credentials with git: in front of them, but the git commands still didn't work.

After I deleted the Windows Credentials for the TFS server, then the git commands started to work.
