A modal popped up asking for my new password. I deleted this file and tried to pull again. For whatever reason I couldn’t see it in the other view in file explorer. And the file showed up with the file path shown above. This time, though, I decided to just search for “passwd” in the search bar for C drive. Once again I could not find the AppData file. I kept looking for other solutions, getting suggestions from coworkers, and nothing worked.Ī coworker also suggested the above solution. I figured this was because I was using a work PC, and I didn’t have this folder, or perhaps lacked proper permissions. I got stuck on “AppData” which was conveniently not showing up in the folder where I was expecting it. You should then be prompted to input your updated password. There was actually a solution on the Atlassian community forum that involved navigating from C: -> User -> -> AppData -> Local -> Atlassian -> Sourcetree and finding the “passwd” file, and deleting it. I started asking coworkers and searching online for solutions.


I logged into our remote Bitbucket server with the new password. Seeing “authentication” made me think it was probably due to changing my password. “fatal: Authentication failed for …”, plus a message from git at the top. When I did so, I got the following error: Before commiting my changes I needed to do a pull.
SOURCETREE GITHUB AUTHENTICATION ERROR CODE
Something I believe I have done many times before with no consequences.Ī few days later I wanted to push some code in Sourcetree. This week I had to change the password on my work PC. This issue, however, frustrated me more than I care to admit. I know I shouldn’t feel incompetent every time I struggle with some kind of error or bug dealing with frustration comes with being a developer, and I chose this.
