URL's don't seem to work

I tried pushing something to github and it said:
"could not read username for 'https://github.com': no such file or directory"

Also I don't know how password settings would work (i'm not experienced with git)

I just tried pushing a repo to GitHub using Git Portable, and it worked fine. Check your remotes with git remote -v, and post the results here.

Hey there, I seem to be having the same issue as dsuser97 - tried pushing and get the same "fatal:could not read username for 'https://github.com': no such file or directory" error.

When I run git remote -v I get origin https://github.com/ak209/MyProject.git < fetch > origin https://github.com/ak209/MyProject.git < push >

Cheers.

I just installed a fresh version of Git Portable, created an empty repo, added a file, created a commit, and pushed the changes. This was the result:

$ git push origin master -u
Username for 'https://github.com': bungeshea
Password for 'https://bungeshea@github.com':
Counting objects: 3, done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 218 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done.

 * [new branch]      master -> master
Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin.

I can't seem to reproduce the error.

Can it be an authentication error related to missing or wrongly configured ssh keys?

This is a bug from windows 1.8.5 (I hope I got that right) releases in git
itself. It has affected all windows computers running git 1.8.5, even the
non portable versions. It can be fixed by installing an earlier version,
for example 1.8.4.

I've just updated Git Portable to Git 1.9.0. Try seeing if upgrading fixes things.
