We are using sourcetree and during finish release we are encountering fatal error as below. It is working fine for commits, merges, push. Earlier it was working for 'finish releases' as well.

I have encountered similar issue with Sourcetree version 3.2.1 (225)

Below steps resolved the issue:

  1. Go to 'Preferences'
  2. Select tab 'Git'
  3. In section 'Git version' select 'Use system git'
  4. New window (locate your system git executable) opens. Select 'git' and click open.

This fixed my issue.

For Android Studio,

Go to Android Studio --> Preferences --> Version Control --> Git --> Enable 'Credentials Helper' option.

It works for me!

Thanks!

Update 5-FEB-2022

if someone is still facing this in Android Studio goto VCS-> GIT -> Remotes edit the origin and replace the url with :

https://<username>@github.com/<username>/<repo>.git

This worked for me!!
