Description Mario Ray Mahardhika 2013-05-19 10:26:16 UTC

I want to push my local commits to main repository, this is the first time I use Git Push with Dolphin's Git plugin. Git Commit works fine. I have no idea how the Git plugin works, but when I choose Git Push I always get the message in the summary above. I have user.name and user.email set in the .git/config and I can push normally using command line git.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure you're in your local git repo directory
2. Do an edit, Right clik->Git Commit
3. Right clik->Git Push->Push

Actual Results:  
An inline dialog appears saying "fatal: could not read username for xxx: No such device or address"

Expected Results:  
A prompt asking for username and password appear, then git push command executes

What is the result if you use command "git push" directly in a console?

Username for 'https://github.com':

It's a prompt, and I can fill and the changes will be pushed after.

Comment 3 Sebastian Dörner 2013-05-19 17:34:38 UTC

This is a known limitation. Currently the plugin only works if "git push" does not prompt for anything, i.e. with public key authentication. Upload your public ssh key to github and it will work.

Mario can you please confirm this is still an issue with the most recent version of Dolphin.
