Change GIT Account Of Visual Studio Team Explorer
Answer :
Look in the Windows Credential manager and remove/update your credentials there:
In my case just removing credentials from Windows Credential didn't fix it. I first removed all git and azure related accounts from Windows Credential, then removed accounts from VS>Files>Account Settings, and then VS asked me new credentials and connected to the project. But my commits were still made with the old account! Finally I found out that it was the git config:
C:\Users\[USER NAME]\.gitconfig
I deleted the whole user section in that file which looks like this:
[user] name = [OLD ACCOUNT NAME] email = [OLD ACCOUNT EMAIL]
On next commit VS asked me git account information and done.
If you want to work with different accounts for different projects on same machine, read this.
I am using VS 2017 and this is how I updated my Password for TFS, using Git repository.
- From the Menu: Team -> manage Connection
- Click on Manage Connection Link -> Connect to Project
It will then open window to connect to your project, here you can update your password.
