Intellij is not able to remember my git credentials

Question

I use Git Bash Desktop App with Intellij ide and our projects git repository hosted on TFS. I need help in fixing or Disabling Auto git fetch in intellij idea. As it keeps asking me for entering password every 15-20 minutes, however I can see credentials stored for git under windows credential manager vault.

Answer 1

Simply follow those steps and you will set up your ssh key in no time:

Generate a new ssh key (or skip this step if you already have a key)

# open git bash or terminal 
ssh-keygen

• Once you have your key set in home/.ssh directory (or Users/.ssh under windows), open it and copy the content

  # get the ssh-key content
  cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
  

• copy this key to your git lab account

• Get the ssh URL of your repository and update it in IntelliJ

Now you can use ssh instead of https
