Over a long period of time I am using tortoise git, today I am not able to use the tortoise git and getting the below error.
git.exe pull --progress -v --no-rebase "origin" remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. Please use a personal access token instead. remote: Please see https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/ for more information.
I am using the latest tortoise git version.
I understand about the git latest change. But I want to use tortoise git. Someone, please help me out this issue.
Use the following steps for avoid this issue.
At https://github.com/settings/tokens, go and generate a token.
While git clone, push, pull
use the below credentials.
username: user_github_username
password: add_generated_token instead of the password.
