Question

I'm on an RHEL machine and it seems that git uses a GUI password prompt when I try to clone private repositories. I'd like it to use the terminal itself. How can I set git to behave in that way?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Are you using askpass? Then try to do

$ unset SSH_ASKPASS

to disable it, because the mask is triggered by ssh and not git.
