I want to implement a little Git Webserver running as an IIS application. I managed it that I can pull and push from and to it. But now I want to implement some basic credentials.

What I do not want to have is, to add a remote url like http://username:password@domain.tld/repo.git. I do not want to have the password in the url (username will be ok).

Currently I want to have this for the HTTP protocol (HTTPS will also be fine)

What do I have to return from my server to tortoisegit, so it will prompt me for a password?

    TortoiseGit would use the same curl commands than msysgit to access to an http server (IIS or other).

    See “Git – How to use .netrc file on windows to save user and password“: you can save your username and password in %HOME%/_netrc (you need to define HOME on Windows).

    The other option is to use the credential helpers packages with git1.7.9+. You enter your username and password once per session (and avoid the _netrc plain text file).
