I have to make notes while listening to lectures.
Can't store SSH keys and don't want to wait for username-password prompt (lecture doesn't stop); so when I have completed an exercise I do
git push https://username:[email protected]/username/repo.git master
the operation completes without error but when I do git status I get message saying there is a difference between local and remote repos. So I have to do the slow and blocking
git push origin master
and I type the username and password when prompted but then git says everything is up to date why this anomalous behavior?
Yesterday I forgot to do git push origin master at end of class and today in class when I did a git clone ... all the commits I made yesterday were lost and my repo was in state of day before yesterday. Is it possible to recover those?
For the conditions set by OP, I think this is a possible solution
Create a file, in the home directory, named .git-credentails which should contain the following line
https://username:[email protected]
replace username and password with appropriate strings and next time OP does a git push origin master s/he won't be prompted for manually entering credentials (iff protocol, hostname, and username pattern match the url of your repository's origin).
As usual, the best place to get precise information is -- https://git-scm.com/docs/git-credential-store
