Git connection in 2017.5

  • June 14, 2017

I'm on a Mac and just upgraded to 2017.5. The local copies of my site are in a GitHub folder which I've been managing with GitHub Desktop.

I was able to make a push through Dreamweaver, but had to enter my username/password on the push screen, which is fine for the first time, but that's going to get really old if it doesn't remember it (which it doesn't appear it does).

When I made a pull, I got this credential-osxkeychain error.

I'm thinking there is something jacked up since I've been using Git on my machine for some time, just not through Dreamweaver.

I have two sites that have the same issue (and they are the only ones I use with Git).

Any thoughts? Thanks for your help!

    Is there an update to this? Please advise.


    Hi,

    We have fixed this issue for the next Dw release, you can verify it now if you are a Dw Pre-release user or you can verify it later when we make the release public.

    Thanks for all your support and feedback.

    I had the same issue that happens as well when you have 2FA activated.

    You have to deactivate it, upload one time to get the SSH Key set right/approval from GitHub then you can enable it again.

    Not fixed in Dreamweaver CC 2018. I went and tried everything that was suggested by Niharika.

    In addition to what Niharika said, please use this link to join the DW prerelease program to test the fix and let us know if it works for you.

    Hi,

    You can enter your credentials on creating a remote and save them, so that Dw does not ask for it again and again on pull/push operations. Please refer the snapshot below:

    Also, the keychain error message that you see, once you have saved your credentials that should disappear. Please tell us if this doesn't still solve the issue.

    Thanks. I had seen that option and had entered it in, but went back and confirmed the username and password entered was correct nonetheless (even though that's not the error).

    When I click on the Fetch All icon, I still get this message:

    Normal terminal. I wasn't aware of one in Dreamweaver, actually.

    My Dreamweaver is set up the same way.

    It actually looks like it's symlink'd to the same location.

    What I keep going back to is the actual error about credential-osxkeychain not being a git command...


    Hi,

    Can you try "pull and push operations" and see if this message is shown in that case also? Or this is happening only for "Fetch"?

    When i first tried git in Dw, i found that it was an either/or use, (Dw git config, or my old git config) and ended up renaming my original git config file, so that it would not try and config the original git instalation.

    I don't know where it is on a mac, but in windows it is a hidden folder and at -

    username/appdata/git

    Which original git config did you rename? The one for DW or your old git config.

    I was hoping maybe someone from Adobe would chime in on this. I can't imagine I'm the only one having this issue.

    I renamed my original git config, as some setting did interfere with Dw's git working correctly. I did point out, before I left the Dw pre-release the problem I had with the original git config and Dw, but I don't know what happened after I left, or if it was followed up.

    Hopefully a Dw team member will reply, as they do try to answer such questions for users, even if it takes them a day or so to do so.
