Adding Git Credentials On Windows


Answer :

Ideally, you should enter:

git config --global credential.helper manager-core

Then your password would be stored in the Windows Credential Manager.
See more at "Unable to change git account".

On the first push, a popup will appear asking for your credentials (username/password) for the target server (for instance github.com)

If not, that might means your credentials were already stored.
If they are incorrect, a simple git credential-manager reject https://github.com will remove them (on Windows, again. On Mac: git credential-osxkeychain erase https://github.com)

With Git 2.29 (Q4 2020), the parser in the receiving end of the credential protocol is loosen to allow credential helper to terminate lines with CRLF line ending, as well as LF line ending.

See commit 356c473 (03 Oct 2020) by Nikita Leonov (nyckyta).

credential: treat CR/LF as line endings in the credential protocol

Signed-off-by: Nikita Leonov
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin

This fix makes using Git credentials more friendly to Windows users: it allows a credential helper to communicate using CR/LF line endings ("DOS line endings" commonly found on Windows) instead of LF-only line endings ("Unix line endings").

Note that this changes the behavior a bit: if a credential helper produces, say, a password with a trailing Carriage Return character, that will now be culled even when the rest of the lines end only in Line Feed characters, indicating that the Carriage Return was not meant to be part of the line ending.

In practice, it seems very unlikely that something like this happens. Passwords usually need to consist of non-control characters, URLs need to have special characters URL-encoded, and user names, well, are names.

However, it does help on Windows, where CR/LF line endings are common: as unrecognized commands are simply ignored by the credential machinery, even a command like quit\r (which is clearly intended to abort) would simply be ignored (silently) by Git.

So let's change the credential machinery to accept both CR/LF and LF line endings.

While we do this for the credential helper protocol, we do not adjust git credential-cache--daemon(man) (which won't work on Windows, anyway, because it requires Unix sockets) nor git credential-store(man) (which writes the file ~/.git-credentials which we consider an implementation detail that should be opaque to the user, read: we do expect users not to edit this file manually).


I normally prefer to clone my Git repositories using SSH links. Here are my steps for Windows:

  • Generate a public/private key pair through PuTTYgen.
  • Add the public key to my GitHub account.

By doing this, I can easily clone my repositories without needing to use my GitHub account password.


I tried many things but the Windows Credentials did not added credential for Git. Then I did the following simple action and it resolved my issue.

  • I removed the related credentials from the Windows Credentials Manager.
  • Then I opened the Git Bash from the project folder.
  • Then wrote "git fetch origin" command.
  • Git Bash first asked for the username and then for the password.

Then I checked the Windows Credentials Manager... Voilaaaa ! It now shows a credential like "git:http://username@address"

I tried to add somethings like "[credential] helper = manager/wincred" things in the config file but after this solution no need for that part, I deleted that [credential] section. Some says that this may be because of your git server is not using https. If it is using https may be you can find different solutions. I still have a goofy like smile on my face

Chemistry - Bond Angles In NH3 And NCl3

Answer : Solution 1: As Tan Yong Boon stated, it is Bent’s Rule with which we can explain the lower bond angle of \ce N F 3 \ce{NF3} \ce NF 3 when compared to \ce N H 3 \ce{NH3} \ce N H 3 . The rule as stated by Henry Bent: Atomic s character concentrates in orbitals directed towards electropositive substituents. Fluorine is more electronegative that hydrogen, and the \ce N − F \ce{N−F} \ce N − F bond would have greater p character than the \ce N − H \ce{N−H} \ce N − H bond. And more s character leads to large bond angles. Thus, the bond angle is greater in \ce N H 3 \ce{NH3} \ce N H 3 than in \ce N F 3 \ce{NF3} \ce NF 3 . Now, consider \ce N C l 3 \ce{NCl3} \ce NCl 3 . Clearly, \ce C l \ce{Cl} \ce Cl atom islarger in size than the central atom, nitrogen. Hence the higher bond angle here is due to the steric crowding caused by \ce C l \ce{Cl} \ce Cl atoms.(More pronounced than the electrongativity of \ce C l \ce{Cl} \ce Cl atom). They repel eachother and hence b

Are Regular VACUUM ANALYZE Still Recommended Under 9.1?

Answer : VACUUM is only needed on updated or deleted rows in non-temporary tables. Obviously you're doing lots of INSERTs but it's not obvious from the description that you're also doing lots of UPDATEs or DELETEs. These operations can be tracked with the pg_stat_all_tables view, specifically the n_tup_upd and n_tup_del columns. Also, even more to the point, there is a n_dead_tup column that tells, per table, how much rows need to be vacuumed. (see Monitoring statistics in the doc for functions and views related to statistics gathering). A possible strategy in your case would be to suppress the scheduled VACUUM, keeping an eye on this view and checking on which tables the n_dead_tup is going up significantly. Then apply the aggressive VACUUM to these tables only. This will be a win if there are large tables whose rows never get deleted nor updated and the aggressive VACUUM is really necessary only on smaller tables. But keep running the ANALYZE for the optimiz

Can Feynman Diagrams Be Used To Represent Any Perturbation Theory?

Answer : Diagram machinery works also for perturbation theory in classical statistical mechanics and classical field theories. Generally, various kinds of diagrams constitute a pictorial way of talking about tensor products and their contractions while hiding the multi-linear algebra from the layman. In the simplest case, vertices (or blobs) represent vectors, matrices, tensors; vertices have ingoing and/or outgoing ports; ingoing ports denote (contravariant) ro indices; outgoing ports denote (covariant) co indices; directed arcs between blobs give a pair of equal indices summed over; different base spaces ⇔ \Leftrightarrow ⇔ different arc types; symmetric tensors ⇔ \Leftrightarrow ⇔ undirected diagrams; no labels are needed for internal lines. In many cases, the directed arcs are decorated (as thin, thick, broken,wavy, curly lines), each decoration indicating the presence of a so-called propagator, a function of its label to use as a weight in the sum, which may beco
