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.

I understand about the git latest change. But I want to use tortoise git. Someone, please help me out this issue.


Solution

  • 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.
