netrc not accepted by git and Git – How to use .netrc file on windows to save user and password
I am trying to push changes to a code.google.com git repository. I am using Git Extensions. My HOME variable is set in both Windows and Git Bash.
C:\> echo %HOME%
C:\Users\Username
$ echo $HOME
/c/Users/Username
And I have added a file in %HOME% called _netrc
machine code.google.com
login username@gmail.com
password GOOGLEGENERATED
Obviously Username is replaced by my username and GOOGLEGENERATED is the google generated password. When attempting to push, I get this error message:
C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe push -u –recurse-submodules=check
“origin” master:master Done fatal: remote error: Invalid
username/password. You may need to use your generated googlecode.com
password; see https://code.google.com/hosting/settings
The related questions suggest that everything is setup properly, but it is still not working. Any ideas?
