Continuously opens a browser window and port every git command

[neilhunt1]

I am running Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS and executing git-credential-oauth to connect to my Bitbucket Cloud repository. I'm running a remote linux SSH connection in VS Code, with git running on the remote machine. This opens a VS Code port 33293 to my host machine and allows the authentication to go through correctly from Bitbucket website. However, on every git command I enter it opens up the browser window and says
Success. You may close this page and return to Git.

—git-credential-oauth

This doesn't break anything, my push/pull still does through, but it should not keep happening once I've cloned the repository for the first time. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Do you have an additional git-credentail-helper configured which takes care of storing your access token? git-credential-oauth only takes care of generating the token for you and leaves storing up to another helper. The README suggests using git-credential-cache for this, take a look there: https://github.com/hickford/git-credential-oauth?tab=readme-ov-file#how-it-works

I have the same issue. I have followed the setup guidelines and have nothing configured except for cache and git credentials oauth

What's your value of this config key? https://git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials#Documentation/gitcredentials.txt-useHttpPath

git config credential.useHttpPath

Try unsetting it

git config --global --unset-all credential.useHttpPath
