Am I doing this wrong, or does it require additional setup

Here's a better how-to for creating a PAT: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token. You'll want to follow that and then you use the PAT in place of your password from the CLI.

Our local procedure for repositories is:
git clone https://github.com/HL7/fhir
execute publish.bat
git checkout -b mybranch-FHIRnnnn
do the coding

git commit -a -m 'changed endpoints to 0..1"
git push (adds the branch to Main)
create pull request for branch
once reviewed, the branch is merged to master by the admin

What is the procedure for fhir?

That process is correct - which version of git are you using?

When I try to push I get a 403

I do have a PAT

view this post on Zulip John Moehrke (Mar 03 2022 at 17:10):

note that PAT will expire, so you need to get a new one occationally.

I set it for 90 days.

I have one machine that requires PAT, the other does not. I have no idea why. I just do the security thing when asked

Hmm... I have 2FA on so never see this :-/

view this post on Zulip Anthony(Tony) Julian (Mar 03 2022 at 19:39):

So I did the above, then
$ git push --set-upstream origin 20220303-FHIR-20522
entered username for user, and PAT for password.

I was going to try, but have not done so, uninstalling tortoise and git... and re-installing. My main machine never does this.

view this post on Zulip Anthony(Tony) Julian (Mar 03 2022 at 19:43):

I can give that a shot. Im not using tortise, so that may be a difference

view this post on Zulip Gino Canessa (Mar 03 2022 at 19:46):

I wonder if you have something else saved cached. Either in the cli (e.g., git auth login) or credential manager.

@Gino Canessa which GIT are you using

You should be able to see in ~\.git-credentials

doesnt look like I have a git-credentials.

view this post on Zulip Gino Canessa (Mar 03 2022 at 20:04):

It comes with git, so should be installed (git credential-manager-core -h), though it may not be configured. If it isn't, you can install it manually. Should just be able to run git credential-manager-core configure to start using it (will then cache credentials in that file I mentioned)

view this post on Zulip John Moehrke (Mar 03 2022 at 20:06):

I don't have that on either of my machines.

view this post on Zulip Gino Canessa (Mar 03 2022 at 20:11):

(sorry, trying to remember all this stuff as we go =). If you look in ~\.gitconfig, it should say which credential store you are using. On windows it could be GCM ([credential] helper=store) or wincred ([credential] helper=wincred).

view this post on Zulip Gino Canessa (Mar 03 2022 at 20:13):

IIRC, wincred is configured using git --credentials? It has been too long since I've used it to properly remember

[credential]
helper = C:/Program\\ Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core/git-credential-manager-core.exe

view this post on Zulip John Moehrke (Mar 03 2022 at 20:19):

found that... on the machine that is not being a jerk, I have helper = manager-core. On the machine that keeps asking for new credential I have helper = manager

view this post on Zulip Gino Canessa (Mar 03 2022 at 20:23):

So, I am confident that the issues are with the various credential 'helpers'. GCM Core feels like the most recent/maintained one on windows.

view this post on Zulip John Moehrke (Mar 03 2022 at 20:24):

so what does that mean? (Note I am not having any problems with my manager-core machine).

view this post on Zulip John Moehrke (Mar 03 2022 at 20:25):

waht is "GCM"?

view this post on Zulip Anthony(Tony) Julian (Mar 03 2022 at 20:26):

I assume that it is git-credentials-manager. I am going to scrub all versions of GIT, and start over.

view this post on Zulip Gino Canessa (Mar 03 2022 at 20:28):

GCM is git credential manager - note this link is to the 'core' version (cross-platform, so named for .Net Core), which supersedes the platform-specific GCM before it =)

view this post on Zulip Gino Canessa (Mar 03 2022 at 20:29):

You can also standalone install GCM core (has platform-specific installers on the GH page), and set it to be the credential manager via git credential-manager-core configure.

in english this time?

'mother' conveniently mounts my 'home' share free of charge. I used it to cache some of my work repositories - so I have a slew of .gitconfig files. I am dumping all of them. - as well as git. Then I will boot, scrub again, then re-install git.

view this post on Zulip Gino Canessa (Mar 03 2022 at 20:36):

  • the git client supports 'pluggable' credential managers for flexibility
  • one credential manager is called Git Credential Manager (GCM for short). It had platform-specific implementations (GCM for Windows and Java GCM for others).
  • when .Net Core was released as cross-platform, the team made a new, single version (still called GCM), but labeled the 'helper' in git as manager-core to differentiate.
  • if you want to use GCM, you need it installed, but can then run its configuration command, e.g., git credential-manager-core configure. That will set it as the 'current' credential manager for git.

Slightly less 'English', but clearer?

view this post on Zulip John Moehrke (Mar 03 2022 at 20:37):

so manager-core is GCM?

view this post on Zulip Gino Canessa (Mar 03 2022 at 20:43):

Yes

view this post on Zulip John Moehrke (Mar 03 2022 at 20:43):

ok, that was english.

view this post on Zulip John Moehrke (Mar 03 2022 at 20:44):

so, then on my misbehaving machine... I should run git credential-manager-core configure?

view this post on Zulip Gino Canessa (Mar 03 2022 at 20:45):

Sure - it should then have the same process as the other one.
