Android Studio: Wrong Username in Git Pull/Fetch Dialog

Question

I am using git in the Android Studio when I am trying to pull, fetch then it is asking password for --global.

Accepted Answer

You probably ran this:

git config credential.username --global username

Instead of

git config --global credential.username username

To fix it, do:

git config credential.username username

And to do what you originally intended to do:

git config --global credential.username username

Answer 2

You should try entering username and password for your GitHub account or try login with Github.

Answer 3

If your remote is https you might enter username and password every time! you can check remote with this command:

git remote -v

If you see something like this: origin https:// , then it's HTTPS remote.

You can connect your remote with ssh which is better than https, and you don't need to enter your username/password every time.

but with ssh you will see remote like this:

origin  :myusername/project.git

based on your operating system it's different to do it, search how to generate ssh key and add it into the GitHub on Linux/Windows/Mac.
