I am using Visual nbsp Studio nbsp 2017 Community Edition CE and I have signed into my Microsoft account and I am connected to VSTS I can see all my projects and repositories but when I attempt to pull fetch push any changes I get the following error Error encountered while pushing to the remote repository Git failed with a fatal error PushCommand ExecutePushCommand And accordingly for the fetch and pull commands too I installed Git for Windows on the Visual nbsp Studio nbsp 2017 installer and not only is it failing to work with VSTS I am unable to work with any of my GitHub repositories too Has anyone else noticed this It s happened on two of my machines so far Visual nbsp Studio nbsp 2015 Enterprise Edition EE and CE work completely fine for me It seems that this issue has gotten far more recognition that I thought it would which leads me to believe that this is an issue with how Visual Studio is dealing with Git I have also noticed that every time I update Visual Studio this problem pops back up and I have to go through the steps in some of the answers below to get Git working again I m not sure why this is happening and I also don t know if Microsoft are planning to resolving this issue

Visual Studio 2017 - Git failed with a fatal error

After I changed the generic credentials from Control Panel ? User Accounts ? Credential Manager for Git, it worked for me.
