Question

Body

Hello guys, I'm extremely new to git, I'm learning how to use still. I'm trying to use my first git project through the vs code, but he's asking me for credentials as shown in the photo, I've tried all kinds of credentials and none works, I've tried to delete existing projects too, but it didn't work. If anyone understands and can help me, I would appreciate it.

A quick solution would be to use a token.

Step-by-step guide to clone via HTTPS with a token
Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT):
Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens

Click on "Generate new token (classic)" (or "New fine-grained token")
Give it a name (e.g. Git via HTTPS)

Select permissions such as:
repo (for access to private and public repositories)
Click on Generate Token

Copy the generated token and keep it safe — it will only be shown once!

Clone the repository using the token:
Instead of typing your login and password, use the following URL when cloning:
git clone https://<TOKEN>@github.com/pedrovitorqa/help.git

Replace with the token you generated.

Example (don't use this token, it's just a template):

https://token12345@github.com/pedrovitorqa/help.git

I've added a link to the VS Code guide to using GitHub for the first time. There's an extension you should install to make the process easier.

This link may be easier to read. It's Github's guide to downloading and setting up on VS Code.

Hey! No worries, you're doing great for someone just starting out with Git. The reason you're being asked for credentials is because you're pushing to GitHub using HTTPS, which requires authentication.

Here’s how to fix it step-by-step:

Use GitHub CLI (Recommended for new users)
Install the GitHub CLI.

In your terminal, run:

"gh auth login"

Follow the instructions to log in via your browser.

Once logged in, run:

"git push -u origin main"

It should work now without asking for credentials every time.

These two answers are pretty good, but you can also use the Source Control VS tab. I think
