Remove your SSH keys from    ssh  or where you stored them    Remove your user settings   git config --global --unset user name git config --global --unset user email git config --global --unset credential helper   Or all your global settings   git config --global --unset-all   Maybe there s something else related to the credentials store  but I always used git over SSH
